Gets deep further out, but the bottom is still visible. There are two nets to keep beach people away from the open water, they are extremely effective as no one goes out. Both nets can be seen if you zoom in closest, one is to the right of the marker and one is far to the left of it. Neither pose a risk to windsurfing or kitesurfing as they are both far apart. Medium beach stretches to the right of the marker and there is a small rigging/launching place right where the marker is. There are a couple of rocks in the ankle shallow water, but none further out. Northeast is the best, coming from the right hand side of the marker, creates flat water and gets choppy further out, uncrowded due to everyone going further northeast in this direction. Main directions based on statistics from windfinder. Spain has a very nice climate all year. Warm and sunny from April to September and no need for a wetsuit. During winter a wetsuit is needed. Air between 20-40°C. The water in Mar Menor never less than 18°C. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: School, Rescue, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
