Almerimar
Guardias Viejas, El Ejido, Almería, Spain
Playa de Guardias Viejas sits at the legendary Punta Culo de Perro headland west of Almerimar in El Ejido — a site that has hosted the Spanish Wave and Slalom Championship since 1987. Powerful Levante easterlies and Atlantic Poniente westerlies funnel around the point, producing real swell and punchy waves. The old lighthouse marks the launch zone, and the sandy beach transitions to rocky shallows near the point adding serious spice to every wingfoil session.

Local tips
Levante conditions give the cleanest wingfoil waves along the point. Watch for sea urchins near the rocks. Mar Azul windsurf and kite club nearby for local knowledge and basic support.
