Where are the best beaches for windsurfing around Mallorca?

The steady sea breeze sweeping over the north coast often fills the sails of windsurfers near Formentor, where the open waters create perfect conditions for both beginners and more experienced riders. Around the Cap de Formentor peninsula, winds tend to be consistent, especially in the warmer months, offering thrilling windsurfing opportunities with views of towering cliffs and pine-clad hills.

Further south, Es Trenc’s long, sandy beach and crystalline waters are also popular, with reliable winds providing a great playground for windsurfing amid the island’s most famous natural setting. The nearby coastal towns like Cala Figuera give a charming contrast with quiet coves when you want to take a break from the waves. The southern coast’s relatively flat waters are welcoming for those honing their skills or renting gear from local shops.

While the Tramuntana mountains shelter parts of the west coast, the eastern shore near Cala Millor and the bay by Porto Cristo can also be good when the Ma-19 wind direction picks up. The local TIB bus network and rental services make reaching these spots fairly straightforward, whether from Palma or quieter backcountry villages like Manacor. Checking the daily wind forecasts and chatting with local windsurfing clubs in places like Alcudia can help you find the best time and tide to catch that perfect ride.
