Conil

This endless sandy beach in front of the beautiful white village of Conil de la Frontera is also better suited to swimming and surfing in summer, when both the beach-break and lagoon only work irregularly. The wind is more likely to get strong enough in wintertime. The waves are best on an ebb tide and stay a bit smaller than 'El Palmar', but conditions are otherwise very similar. Best wind directions are west to north-westerly (the better the weather, the more northerly Poniente blows) or south-south-easterly as Levante turns on its last day before the start of a westerly. Sadly, the standing-depth kite lagoon in the Rio Salado estuary doesn't contain enough water every year. In summer there’s a little kite zone on the beach – and some lively nightlife in town.
