Calpe, wheelset choice?

Heading to Calpe for a week of riding and deciding between ENVE 5.6 or Zipp 303s

Main concern is wind on coastal roads. For those who’ve ridden there in April, are deeper wheels manageable most days, or is mid depth the safer bet?

Appreciate real world experience.

I’ve been for several years, no issues with coastal winds. The winds are higher in the hills around Rattes tham the coast.

I ran 50mm rims each time. 70kg rider. Apart from one ludicrous day coming down Rattes (50km/h average) i had no concerns.

Don’t overthink it. The weather out there is great and generally stable.
