Las Salinas is the long beach south of Roquetas de Mar, about 1,350 m of light sand with a promenade in the southern part. This spot is in the northern section, beyond the end of the promenade, where the beach is narrower and wilder, with the old salt flats behind and far fewer people. Guides do not agree on the wind: most say you ride with Poniente, which on this southeast-facing coast comes from land (flatter water near the shore, but pushes you out to sea), and another claims that Levante, which comes side-on with some waves, creates ideal conditions. It is suitable for kitesurf, windsurf, wingfoil and SUP. This section has no lifeguards or services: it is advisable to go out with a partner and give notice beforehand. From 15 June to 15 September, the beaches of Roquetas are buoyed for swimming and schools indicate they go on break; the best time is autumn, winter and spring. On the seabed, near the shore, dark patches are visible (rocks or seagrass, unconfirmed). Forecasts are checked with ARPEGE, ECMWF and ICON.
