Questions and answers

Where are the waves in Mallorca when the mestral blows?

The most exposed from that side: platja de Son Bunyola, platja de Can Sales, Cala Gata, Sa Marina, Platja de Can Pruaga.

How do you work this out?

From how open each beach is to the sea (fetch from the OSM coastline every 5 degrees) and the JONSWAP wind-wave formula; the Beaches today layer on the 3D map uses the same logic.
