How this is modelled

Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.

Wind on the beach

  • cross-onshore.
  • The two bays face opposite ways across the Isuledda isthmus: the Porto Liscia side to the west takes the Maestrale straight in and is where the kite corridor sits, while the Porto Pollo bay to the east sits in the lee, is flatter and lighter, and is closed to kites for most of the year.

What the spot record warns about

  • strong gusty Mistral days with waves to 2mGusty Maestrale/W winds near land and during stronger systems.
  • crowded launch zones in peak seasonMarked swimmer/bathing zones: do not ride through them.
  • check forecast before rigging - conditions swing quickly
  • Crowded water and launch areas in July-August and on good wind days.
