Capo Linaro

Capo Linaro is a small bay on the Tyrrhenian coast of central Italy, characterized by moderate residential development along its southwestern-facing shoreline. The spot consists of a protected bay with shallow water conditions transitioning to deeper water offshore. The northern section features defined beach breaks with visible rocky infrastructure and harbor facilities. Light-swell conditions dominate with an average wave height of 0.67m, making this location suitable for progression rather than wave riding. Wind reliability is notably low at 6.3% with average winds of 6.1 knots, suggesting this is a marginal spot requiring optimal seasonal windows. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°) providing side-shore orientation. The shallow bay waters and proximity to residential areas make this suitable for beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice. The limited wind consistency and small wave average indicate this spot is best approached during stronger wind seasons or as a secondary location.
