La Santa Lagoon is a unique flat water spot on the northwest coast of Lanzarote, near the village of La Santa and the famous Club La Santa sports resort.
The lagoon is formed by a natural rock barrier creating a sheltered pool connected to the ocean by a channel. When conditions align, it offers flat to slightly choppy water protected from the ocean swell — ideal for freestyle and flat water riding.
The spot is tide-dependent and works best at higher water levels. The channel connecting to the ocean can have strong currents.
The spot works year-round: 28 rideable days a month on average, at 23 °C. It peaks in July, with 401 hours of usable wind.

When the spot works, wind sits mostly between 22 and 30 knots — 61% of rideable hours. That is the most versatile range, where most kites work. The coldest month is January, at 21 °C. The wettest month is September, with 12 mm. Bar height is the month's rideable days; the split shows how its wind hours break down by strength.
