Playa de Cabo de Gata Swimming Forecast

Cabo de Gata · Spain

Playa de Cabo de Gata scores 79/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SW. A roughly 10 km beach of fine pebbles and sand at a protected volcanic headland, within a marine reserve and Biosphere Reserve. Easterly wind flattens the water for kite and windsurf freeride, while southwest/west wind raises a small-to-medium beach break with left and right peaks, best in autumn and spring. Motorised craft are permanently banned. Lifeguards cover mid-June to mid-September, daily 12:00-19:00. Cold upwellings near the headland are a hazard.
