Launch notes
Flat water makes this ideal for beginners, but soft sand launching can be challenging in light winds. SE and NE winds are most common; launch from sheltered areas when winds are weak (8.1 kt average).
Gear & clothing
Gear · Use 14-17m kites given the low average wind speed; a directional board or hydrofoil works well for flat water progression. Consider bringing multiple kite sizes since conditions are marginal most days.
Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is adequate for summer months; upgrade to 5/3mm for winter sessions (Oct-Nov, Dec-Jan) when Mediterranean water temperatures drop to 10-12°C.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect other water users including swimmers and fishermen common along this Adriatic coast. Coordinate with local kite schools if present to avoid congestion in the limited wind windows.
Additional notes
Plan trips around the best wind months (Oct, Nov, Jan, Dec, Apr, Jul) since this spot only has 31 windy days annually. Check local weather forecasts closely and consider nearby spots if Bababoom is too light.
