About the spot

Vila Nova de Milfontes here identifies the Mira entrance and adjacent Atlantic coast. This is not one uniform flat-water area: tides and current affect the river, with surf outside. The map point does not delimit an authorised kite zone.

The spot guide describes demanding wind conditions caused by coastal shape and land shelter. Weaker or gusty Nortada and rapidly roughening seas in fronts limit suitability. Only experienced riders with a local briefing, suitable wind angle and a secure exit should consider a session. The entrance is unsuitable for unsupervised beginners.

Access & local notes

Confirm the actual launch and current permission locally. Keep swimming areas and the river channel clear; do not assume a return against entrance currents or through rocky coastal sections.
