Launch notes

Beach launch is feasible with SSE/SE winds being most consistent; choppy conditions require careful water entry and attention to rip currents. Wind can be gusty due to local geography, so staged launches are recommended.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the 10.5kt average; consider a 15m as your go-to quiver for variable conditions. A directional or hybrid board handles chop better than twintips in these choppy Mediterranean waters.

Clothing · 3/2mm wetsuit recommended year-round with booties for rocky entry points; water temperatures range 13-21°C seasonally. Winter months (Jan-Mar best season) require thicker protection.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local swimmers and fishermen, particularly during peak summer months when crowds increase. Keep adequate distance from other water users and follow established launch/landing zones.

Additional notes

January and March offer the most reliable wind with 79+ windy days annually; plan trips around SSE/SE patterns which dominate. Check local Mediterranean weather forecasts carefully as conditions can shift rapidly.
