Llebeig (SW) — Also thermal. Less common but good conditions.
Llevant (E) — Onshore. Waves, autumn/winter storms. More advanced.
Gregal (NE) — Storm waves, winter. Famous E/NE waves at nearby El Dorado beach (south of Júcar river).
⚠️ Winter: no thermal — go to Punta Molins for terral W/NW.
Hazards
⚠️ Kite restricted in summer outside authorized areas — respect marked zones.
⚠️ River mouth — watch for current and debris after rain.
⚠️ Thermal can get gusty close to shore on strong days — steadier further out.
