About the spot

Salinas de Pozo lies by the saltworks south of the famous Pozo Izquierdo windsurf beach. The official description identifies northerly and northeasterly wind as onshore. Rocky ground and powerful trades make it primarily an advanced-to-expert location.

Waves, shoreline stones and submerged obstacles require detailed spot knowledge. The guide favours lower water, but entry remains demanding. This listing identifies the separate kite area by the saltworks; the main windsurf bay is not an automatically permitted alternative launch.
