About the spot

Playa Granada near Motril has an actively used kite and watersports area. AWA describes its base beside Hoyo 19, with access through a marked nautical channel. The spot faces the open Mediterranean and can be much less sheltered than a lagoon.

Lessons and independent freeriding require compatible surf, wind angle and swimming activity. The channel provides access to the riding area; it is not for jumps or uncontrolled first attempts. The available evidence does not establish a reliable general wind recommendation, so confirm suitable directions with the centre.
