Alghero is a developed Mediterranean beach break located on the northwestern coast of Sardinia, Italy. The coastline faces northwest toward the Tyrrhenian Sea, with a sandy beach bordered by dense residential and tourist infrastructure. The spot sits at the interface between urban development and agricultural land, offering limited fetch distance and protection from strong oceanic swells. Best conditions occur with northeasterly to easterly winds that create side-shore conditions. The spot suits beginners due to small, consistent waves and relatively protected waters, though wind reliability is extremely low at 3.2%, making sessions unpredictable. Water temperatures average 17.9°C, requiring a wetsuit most of the year. The shallow bay waters and proximity to populated areas mean kiters must remain close to shore. This spot works primarily during rare favorable wind windows rather than as a consistent destination.
