San Pere Pescador: Costa Brava's Top Kite Spot
San Pere Pescador, nestled in the heart of Costa Brava and located in the picturesque Bahía de Rosas in the province of Girona, stands out as an exceptional kitesurfing destination in Spain and Europe alike! Adding to its allure, San Pere Pescador is the home spot of pro kiter Rita Arnaus, making this destination even more exciting for kitesurfing enthusiasts.
Renowned for its consistent winds, stunning beaches, and relaxed atmosphere, this area boasts a Mediterranean climate with warm weather and reliable winds, making it ideal for both novice and experienced kiters. The top kitesurfing spots are Platja de Can Martinet, and the beach in front of the ION Club near the Ballena Alegra camping.
If you're in Barcelona and looking to escape the city’s summer kitesurfing restrictions, San Pere Pescador is the perfect getaway—no restrictions apply here—and it's just about 160 kilometers away.
San Pere Pescador's kite season
San Pere Pescador, with its Mediterranean climate, offers kitesurfing conditions almost year-round. The peak kitesurfing season runs from June to September, when the SE winds—locally known as the Marinada—blow consistently, providing steady thermal winds between 12 to 25 knots. During this time, temperatures range from 20°C to 30°C, and water temperatures are pleasantly warm at 18°C to 24°C, making it an ideal period for kitesurfing.
Outside of the peak season, kitesurfing is still possible, though the winds can be less predictable and the weather cooler. A shorty wetsuit (or even a just a lycra!) is usually enough during the peak months, but you'll need a full wetsuit during the shoulder season.
