Parking

Playa Lisa — access from the road between Santa Pola and El Pinet. Kite area near El Pinet end. Free parking along the road. Santa Pola town center 5-10 min. Salt lakes (Salinas) with flamingos between town and beach — worth a visit.

Wind specificities

Garbí / Llebeig (SW) — Best wind. Thermal, 15-20 kts, constant. Spring/summer afternoon. Side-onshore.
Llevant (E) — Side-shore at Playa Lisa. Waves. All year. Good for wave riding.
Xaloc (SE) — Light, not very intense. Good for foil/hydrofoil.
Migjorn (S) — Not common but works at Playa Lisa.
Ponent (W) — OFFSHORE, gusty. Advanced only. Playa Lisa works but risky if you can't stay upwind.

Hazards

⚠️ Ponent (W) wind is OFFSHORE and gusty — advanced only. Comes from land, can drop suddenly.
⚠️ Playa Lisa kite area is closest to Playa del Pinet (Elche side) — not near the town center.
⚠️ Stones on shore at nearby Carabassi beach — check your launch spot.
⚠️ Kite restricted in summer — authorized zones only.
