About This Spot
Capo Ferrato is a small bay located on Sardinia's southeastern coast, facing southwest toward the Mediterranean. The spot features a sheltered sandy beach backed by agricultural land and scattered vegetation. The bay's enclosed nature provides protection from large swells but limits wave development, making it suitable primarily for light-wind conditions and beginners. Water remains shallow in the nearshore zone with scattered rocky hazards. The 5.6-knot average wind and extremely low 4.4% reliability suggest this is a marginal kitesurfing location that works best during seasonal wind events. Northeast winds (45°) would provide optimal side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water practice in protected conditions, though low wind frequency means sessions are inconsistent. Water temperatures around 19°C are moderate year-round. Local agricultural activity and residential presence indicate limited infrastructure specifically for water sports.
