It seems that the low temperatures this year have been a long time coming, but just a month ago south-southwest winds arrived that facilitated the practice of kitesurfing in the only spot located within the Community Valencianain which you can sail with this type of wind. What beach are we talking about? From Poniente beach or "Arenal Bol", in the town of Calpe.
This is not a very constant wind, since it appears only from time to time and you have to be very lucky to find it. Of course, once it occurs it does so with great force, raising waves of better quality than if we were faced with easterly and gregal winds (east and northeast respectively). This is the reason why riders from all over the community come to enjoy the winds, the clear waters and the landscapes of Morro de Toix and the Peñón de Ifach.
Now what remains is to say goodbye to sailing with sun and a swimsuit, because it is time to put on your wetsuit and face the low water temperatures (although the Mediterranean is generous and does not usually go below 10º/15º in winter). . If you have done a kitesurfing course in summer, now is the time to sail with strong winds and cross the breakers of big waves.
Sailing with winds that come from the left can be something that disconcerts many of you who do not yet have much experience, since it will be necessary to forget about the 12-size kite and acquire an 8-size one.
Some of the most suggestive spots of the winter season in the Valencian Community are the areas of San Juan Beach, which has east and cold storms, Gurugú Beach in Castellón, with the same winds, Playa Centro or Ciutat de La Villajoyosa and Playa Lisa de Santa Pola with south-southwest winds and finally Playa del Dorado-Estany, where there are incredible waves and gregal seasons and lift.
If you have not yet launched yourself into the winds of the Mediterranean, it is time for you to dare, because kitesurfing is one of the best options to enjoy your free time. Can Try taking a course if you have not tried this sport yet, because during the winter season you can find the best winds to practice it.
We advise you to visit our directory and find the kitesurfing centers in the Valencian Community to contact them and encourage you to enjoy this water sport.
