Playa de El Médano Swimming Forecast

El Cabezo · Spain

Playa de El Médano scores 70/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SE. A long, SSE-facing sandy bay with mellow beach-break waves and a left-hand reef break on its outer section, in a corridor of constant NE trade winds. The town-end is calmer, suited to families; the far end is designated for windsurfing and kitesurfing by experienced riders. Blue Flag certified, with a sea rescue team present and workable water entry at all tide stages. Submerged rocks lie near the reef.
