About This Spot
Agnone is a protected bay located on Sicily's northern coast, characterized by shallow waters, agricultural land, and residential areas. The spot sits at the mouth of a river system that feeds into the bay, creating a sheltered environment with limited wave development. The coastline faces northeast, making northwest and southwest winds ideal for side-shore conditions. This is a light-wind spot suited for beginners due to minimal wave activity and shallow, forgiving water. Average conditions show marginal wind reliability at 3.5% with very small waves averaging 0.44m. The bay's protected nature makes it suitable for learning kitesurfing fundamentals with reduced hazards from heavy waves, though the extremely low wind frequency means consistent conditions are rare. Water temperature around 19.3°C requires seasonal wetsuit consideration. The proximity to agricultural areas and river outflow may affect water quality. Best suited for flat-water freestyle practice during northwesterly wind events rather than wave riding.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water areas throughout bay
Agricultural runoff visible affecting water clarity
River mouth with variable current flow
Dense residential development creating potential spectator interference
Mud/silt bottom common in this region
Low wind reliability (3.5%) limits session frequency
Small wave height (0.44m average) restricts wave riding potential
