A spot featuring the Tramuntana wind from the Pyrenees and steady sea breezes in the summer months. The long sandy Bay of Roses, on the Mediterranean coast, only 30 km away south of the French border, has been a favourite spot for windsurfers for decades.

Located on the Catalan coast, the huge Bay of Rosas has built up an enviable reputation with windsurfers and kitesurfers.
An easy scenic drive from Barcelona or Gerona, the magnificent 7km long sandy beach also makes it a hugely popular family resort. The area offers much to see with a variety of activities and places to see. Cycling routes abound either through flat, countryside roads or up towards the Pyrenees where there is rafting, canyoning and free fall parachuting. Visit local ancient archaeological sites at Sant Marti d'Empuries or picturesque villages such as L'Escala offering excellent tapas bars, restaurants, discos and small boutiques. The Dali museum is less than 30 minutes or why not add a couple of days in Barcelona. The choice is endless.

Kitesurfing

The sea breeze (thermal wind), blows mainly between May / June through to September and is amazingly constant, generally blowing between 12-22 knots side-onshore, from the right.Our 100m-wide sandy beach offers enough space for “stress-free” kite launching. The water in front of the centre is shallow for some 50 meters as there are many sandbanks.
We offer daily kitesurfing instruction from April 16 th 2011.
Courses for all levels are held directly in front of the centre in our private, kitesurfing-only teaching zone.
Our motivated kitesurf staff are all certified IKO and FFVL instructors.
Our international team can provide lessons in Spanish, English, French, German and Dutch.
Skyriders Golf de Roses has its own Authorized Kite-school Zone right in front of the centre. Our lessons are held in a separate area on the beach (and in the water).

Windsurfing

Known worldwide for its perfect windsurfing conditions, the Golf of Roses Bay is ideal for windsurfers from Beginner to Expert Levels.
The thermal wind blows cross-onshore from the southeast, gradually picking up during the day.
This means that beginners can enjoy the shallow water area with a light breeze in the mornings. Both kids and adults are taught by our motivated, multilingual, certified instructors. Kids can enjoy the first steps of windsurfing and meet new windsurfing friends of their own age; our small teaching groups (maximum 4) means that children can have a lot of fun together, with plenty of attention from our instructors.
As a general ruley you can expect the thermal wind (sea breeze) to pick up from 3 – 5 Bft, and good days can even bring a Force 6.
Intermediate and Advanced Level windsurfers can try out the latest equipment from North Sails, Fanatic Team Edition and the Mistral.
When the Tramuntana blows, the conditions are slightly different. This wind comes rushing down from the Pyrenees in the north, usually picking up to between a F5 and F8.
The water state also changes, giving you small waves breaking by the beach and perfect Bump and Jump conditions further out.
If you’ve mastered the waterstart, then you have probably dreamt of these conditions. 4.0 – 5.0m² sails are the most popular sizes and we unleash the wave boards.
PRICELIST SCHOOL & RENTAL CLUB MISTRAL
The special conditions of the region provide for different leisure options, such as cycling routes, hiking or horse riding.
