modelled
A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it. Good for comparing places, weaker for one beach.
Modelled from the operational forecast archive at 1.5–7 km (2023-2024), daylight hours only, not a ground station: it resolves thermal, lake and valley winds far better than coarse reanalysis but still tends to understate a strong local thermal. A windy day has at least three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. The typical daily max and the direction are columns of the table above, month by month. Highlighted months are the riding season from the spot record.

Rider tips
- Call Don Pablo or Kitesurf Napoli before you rig in bathing season and ask which corridor is open that week.
- Walk the shallows before your first run; the bottom is uneven and the gusts make waterstarts untidy.
- Use the lido for launch coordination, the rescue contact and a read on when the thermal fills in.
- Pack a full suit for winter sessions: the sea drops to about 15.3 C.
