Level: Intermediate, Expert

Type: Ocean, River Mouth

Water type: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Small wave

Water hazards: Animals, Currents, Wave breaker

Water quality: Polluted

Infos: Flat water. Further outside it gets choppy. With stronger winds small waves, breaking on a sandbar in front of the river mouth, depending on tides though. Behind a sand dune it has a small lagoon. You need to cross the river, which has some current. The water is often contains tar and has a funny taste, probably due to the factories and ships in the bay. Avoid drinking it when you wipeout. Also, watch out for the jellyfish in the summer.

Beach type & size: Sand - Medium

Infos: Wide sandy beach. Lots of space. On one side it is limited by a river mouth. A few rocks at the river mouth.

Identified hazards: Rocks

Beachgoer: June, July, August

Weather specificities: Air in winter 20C, in summer between 25 and 35C. Water between 18C in winter and 23C in summer. Winter long wetsuit, summer shorty or shorts, rest of year shorty.

Wind type: Thermal, Frontal

Wind specificities: With the Levante the wind comes mainly sideonshore. The wind is a bit stronger here than in Getares, but less gusty. In the afternoon the wind gets less gusty. The wind changes from Poniente (West) to Levante (East) in general every few days, guess the best rate can be up to 60-70% days with more than 4 Bft per month in summer. Best direction is definitely ESE. When wind is forecasted from East, its possible that the wind will come into the bay (ESE) because of the mountains and geographic effects. Less strong winds than Tarifa.

Best months: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October

Access description: by Car - From Tarifa drive towards Algeciras and in Algeciras towards Malaga. After Algeciras exit the highway at 'Palmones' and follow the signs to Palmones until you reach the walking zone. Behind the zone turn right onto a gravel parking lot. Free parking.
