Son Serra de Marina (Son Serra Nova)

Son Serra de Marina is an exposed reef/point break known for producing both left and right waves. Surf is described as having good wave quality, and the spot is especially associated with north to north-northeast swell (often the key to getting clean, consistent surf). Winter is emphasized as the period when conditions are most consistent, including the best run of consecutive days. The beach environment includes sand alongside rocky/reef sections, and safety guidance is clear: avoid the rocks/reef because there are sharp rocks and reef parts that can be hidden underwater. Currents can become a major factor, especially when swell and size build, and a strong emphasis is placed on wearing appropriate protection (at least helmet for surfers, and also boots/wetsuit/leash are recommended in the local guidance). Wind conditions support both surface wind sports and wave riding, particularly during the colder season when the winds are described as frontal. Typical wind strength is around 15–25 knots, and kite and windsurf descriptions focus on winter wave-riding with Tramontana-like wind regimes bringing cold, gusty conditions. North winds are also noted to influence surf by creating more onshore chop, while West/Southwest winds can be cleaner for surf quality. Crowds and seasonal access are part of the practical planning here. The spot can become crowded when it’s working, and there are seasonal summer restrictions affecting kitesurfing/windsurfing near main bathing areas (including designated channels and seasonal swimming zones). For temperature planning, water ranges from about 14°C in winter to roughly 26–27°C in summer, with a wetsuit recommendation that leans toward spring weights in the transitional season and warmer protection in colder months.
