About This Spot
Baia Domizia is located on the Campania coast of southern Italy within the Gulf of Gaeta, a shallow bay environment. The coastline faces northwest toward the water, with the shore characterized by sandy beaches interspersed with residential and commercial development. The spot features a gradual bathymetric profile with light swell conditions typical of Mediterranean enclosed bays. Wind reliability is notably low at 1.6%, with average winds of 4.8 knots—insufficient for most kitesurfing sessions. Northeast winds (45°) provide side-shore conditions optimal for the bay's orientation. The area is primarily suitable for beginners during rare favorable wind windows due to protected conditions and shallow water. However, proximity to the Port of Castellammare and industrial infrastructure presents navigation complexity and potential water quality issues. The limited fetch distance restricts wave development. This location is better suited for light-wind progression training rather than regular kitesurfing sessions, given the Mediterranean's seasonal wind patterns and low annual wind reliability at this specific bay location.
