Playa de Sancti Petri faces W, open to the prevailing westerlies, so the wind arrives off the water rather than filtered through the land — the clean, steady flow kite foiling wants, and the reason gusts here are sea breezes rather than land turbulence.
Today's wind is onshore at 12 kn. Onshore is the safest direction for kite foiling here — anything that goes wrong drifts you back to the beach — at the cost of a choppier surface.
Over the published window Playa de Sancti Petri clears 60/100 for kite foiling at every ability from Beginner to Expert — an unusually broad spot, which normally means a range of conditions rather than one narrow sweet spot. Today, 11 of 11 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.
Among the 30 scored spots within reach today, Playa de Sancti Petri ranks 9th for kite foiling. The order changes by discipline: the same conditions that put a spot top for one sport can drop it down the list for another.
Satellite-derived bathymetry with 10 m pixels and 10 cm vertical resolution out to ~40 m depth. The shape of the seabed is what determines where and how waves break.
Most apps run a single global model at 9–25 km. We blend regional NWP from national meteorological offices at 1.3–2 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD, ItaliaMeteo ICON-2I — with ECMWF IFS for the 8-day horizon. Finer resolution means the sea breeze, cliff funnelling and bay shadowing that changes everything for a session.
A nearshore wave model propagates the spectrum across the bathymetric mesh — modelling refraction, shoaling, dissipation, focusing and breaking as it goes. Most apps stop at swell + wind. We go further.
10 sport models × 4 ability levels weight wave height, period, wind, tide and breaking conditions differently — calibrated against ridden sessions so the scores mean what they say.
A wind-sport venue on a natural channel, with flat, sheltered water and consistent westerly winds — a flat-water kitesurf and windsurf spot; outside the channel, Atlantic swell brings small-to-moderate waves. Sandy bottom, rocks exposed near the channel entrance at low tide. A protected natural monument: unauthorised boat access banned 12 June-20 September; kitesurfing banned on the main beach in summer. Strong channel currents; ride at slack tide.
