Hazards

Shallow water and sandbars in Lo Stagnone lagoon require careful navigation and awareness of depth changesLight and variable winds common in winter months can lead to sudden lulls; always have safety procedures readyOccasional boat traffic in the lagoon area demands constant vigilance and clear communication with other water users

Launch notes

The flat lagoon water of Lo Stagnone offers ideal launch conditions for beginners with consistent, sheltered access from the beach. SSE and NW winds are most reliable; approach launching during these directions for the smoothest entry.

Gear & clothing

Gear · For the 10.8kt average, bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind potential; a 12m kite is essential for stronger sessions. A directional or twin-tip board works well in flat water conditions ideal for skill development.

Clothing · Winter months (Dec-Jan) require a 3-4mm wetsuit; spring months (Mar) can use 2-3mm as Mediterranean waters warm. Quick-dry clothing is recommended given the variable conditions.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect the beginner-friendly zone and communicate clearly with the school staff to avoid interference with lessons and other riders. Keep clear of designated teaching areas and always yield to swimmers and boat traffic.

Additional notes

Book lessons with Follow The Wind in advance during peak months (Jan, Mar, Dec) as the school operates the prime flat-water learning zone. The spot's 85 windy days annually makes it reliable, but always check local wind forecasts before traveling.
