Launch notes
Launch from the flat water beach when NE or ENE winds arrive, typically requiring patient waiting between sessions. The shallow, calm conditions make this ideal for beginners but demand consistent wind forecasting.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Bring a 17m+ kite to maximize light wind potential (avg 6.7 kts); a smaller 12-14m for stronger days in spring/fall. Use a directional or hybrid board suited to flat water learning.
Clothing · A 4/3mm wetsuit works for winter months (Jan-Feb), while 3/2mm suits spring and fall sessions. Summer months may allow thinner 2mm or rashguard-only conditions.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect the shipping lanes and boat traffic from Venice; avoid launching during peak tourist boat hours. Coordinate with local schools and other water users to maintain safe separation.
Additional notes
Plan visits around forecast windy days rather than dropping in randomly; the spot shines during spring (Mar-Apr) and fall (Sep-Oct) swells. Check local tide tables as they significantly impact water depth and launch zones.
