Spot currently openIntermediate levelAltitude 80 m 36.79 | 6.36

Overview

This kitesurfing spot is located in the Wilaya of Skikda, on the north-east coast of Algeria. Despite its erroneous name (Sanlucar de Barrameda is a Spanish city), the spot is indeed located in Algeria. It faces north towards the Mediterranean and benefits from prevailing north-west and west winds. Conditions are suitable for intermediate riders. The spot is situated at altitude (80 m) above sea level, which may indicate cliff access.
