The beach can be in a wind shadow and therefore gusty, depending on the direction. The wind changes from Poniente (West) to Levante (East) in general every few days, guess the best rate can be up to 60-70% days with more than 4 Bft per month in summer. Best direction is definitely ESE. When wind is forecasted from East, it's possible that the wind will come into the bay (ESE) because of the mountains and geographic effects. Less strong winds than Tarifa, so if the wind blows too strong there, you can go to this spot for less wind. Normally a couple of forces lower.
