Wind Fornells — Fornells Bay

Best wind

No checked exact wing source publishes a safe compass sector. The operator says the bay is sheltered and the cross-discipline guide says bay wind can be gusty; use the school's observed launch angle and safety-boat advice rather than transferring a Menorca regional forecast to this entry. Offshore or non-recoverable sectors remain unverified: https://windfornells.com/en/blog/kitesurf-menorca/ https://windfornells.com/en/about-us/

Season

The exact wing school schedules its low season in April-June and September-October and high season in July-August. That is an operating calendar, not proof of best wind. A cross-discipline operator guide prefers November-April for quieter sheltered-bay kiting and warns of heavy summer traffic; confirm current wing operation and wind before travel: https://windfornells.com/en/courses/wing-foil/ https://windfornells.com/en/blog/kitesurf-menorca/

Water

Predominantly flat, land-enclosed Fornells Bay rather than an ocean wave launch. The official tourism description gives a roughly 4 km by 2 km bay with a maximum depth around 12 m, but that does not establish foil clearance at the small school beach. The operator describes the bay as the island's safest/sheltered kite setting and uses a safety boat: https://windfornells.com/en/blog/kitesurf-menorca/ https://www.menorca.es/Contingut.aspx?IDIOMA=6&IdPub=13701 https://windfornells.com/en/about-us/

Experience

Complete beginner through progressing rider under instruction. Wind Fornells publishes a no-experience Level 1, a private Level 2 for riders who can already hold ground, and progressive short-mast/big-foil equipment. Independent-rental standards are not published on the checked wing page: https://windfornells.com/en/courses/wing-foil/

Hazards

Gusty bay wind, little shore space at the enabled launch, heavy summer traffic from yachts, dinghies, windsurfers and motorboats, moorings, fishing activity and protected marine habitat are evidenced. Near-shore foil depth remains unsurveyed. Safety boats apply to school activity, not general public rescue; keep clear of navigation/mooring areas and reject offshore drift: https://windfornells.com/en/blog/kitesurf-menorca/ https://www.menorca.es/Contingut.aspx?IDIOMA=6&IdPub=13701 https://windfornells.com/en/about-us/

Parking & access

The exact school publishes its roadside address on Carretera Mercadal-Fornells but does not establish dedicated public parking, a fee, capacity, overnight use or a gear-unloading route. Confirm parking with Wind Fornells and keep marina/road access clear: https://windfornells.com/en/courses/wing-foil/ https://windfornells.com/en/about-us/
