Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the moderate average winds (8.2 kts); consider larger sizes during winter months or have smaller 12m backup. Twin-tip boards work best for choppy conditions; avoid directional boards given water choppiness.

Clothing · 3-4mm wetsuit for winter months (Jan, Dec); 2-3mm for spring/fall (Mar, Apr, Oct, Nov). Water temps in the Tyrrhenian Sea range from 13°C winter to 23°C summer.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local swimmers and beach users; this is a mixed-use recreational area. Stay downwind of other water sports and be mindful of ferry traffic in the wider bay.
