Playa de la Morena faces SW, open to the prevailing westerlies, so the wind arrives off the water rather than filtered through the land — the clean, steady flow kite surfing wants, and the reason gusts here are sea breezes rather than land turbulence.
Today's wind is onshore at 4 kn. Onshore is the safest direction for kite surfing here — anything that goes wrong drifts you back to the beach — at the cost of a choppier surface.
Over the published window Playa de la Morena clears 60/100 for kite surfing at Beginner, Intermediate levels — that is who this spot is for on this sport. Today, 3 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.

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 small, sheltered pebble-and-rock cove within a naturist area, with calm, clear water suited to snorkelling and kayaking rather than surfing. The seabed shifts from pebble shallows to rocky drop-offs and overhangs, with sea urchins in rocky sections. This nudist zone prohibits animals; access is unsuitable for reduced mobility, and the main approach has been closed for years due to rockfall, with entry now via a rambla. The cove is likely unguarded.
