El Buzón (Mallorca)

El Buzón is a shallow, medium-sized sandy kitesurfing spot on Mallorca’s north coast in the Bay of Alcúdia/Playa de Muro area (between Alcúdia and Can Picafort, south of the river). Water quality is described as crystal clear, with small waves and generally flat-to-choppy conditions that suit sessions focused on freestyle/progression, as long as riders manage the shallow edge and locate safe lines out from shore. The wind is predominantly NE thermal wind (Embats) in the warm season, with the most reliable months typically running from May to October—especially June through September. Thermal conditions are commonly described as starting around midday and continuing until late afternoon (reported window ~13:00 to 18:00), and the spot is also noted for occasional stronger frontal winds in winter (with winter riding requiring a wetsuit). Safety is a key consideration because a bridge/canal outlet and nearby wooden piers are repeatedly flagged hazards. In summer, kitesurfing is also described as strictly regulated to keep riders out of swimmer areas, so you should use designated launch zones/corridors or school-operated boat shuttles when required. Crowding/tourism in July and August can add practical challenges (notably parking after late morning). For comfort, water temperature is reported around 28°C in peak summer, while winter temperatures drop enough that a wetsuit is needed. Overall, the spot is presented as a well-known, commonly used thermal-wind location with consistent conditions in summer and services/lessons available via local kite centers.
