Capo Miseno

Capo Miseno is located in the Bay of Naples, Italy, featuring a sheltered bay environment with a sandy beach and extensive shallow water areas. The spot consists of a main open bay area to the south and a smaller protected lagoon to the north, separated by a developed shoreline. The coastal orientation faces southwest toward the open Mediterranean, with the bay providing natural wave dampening and wind acceleration from certain directions. This location is primarily suitable for light-wind conditions and beginners due to minimal swell generation (0.60m average waves) and low wind reliability (3.8%). The presence of extensive boat mooring fields, particularly visible in the central and eastern portions, creates significant hazards for navigation. The northern lagoon area offers flatter water but restricted space. Best wind conditions come from northwesterly directions (315°) providing side-shore flow across the main bay. The spot requires careful navigation around infrastructure and boat traffic. Intermediate experience recommended due to obstacles and congestion rather than water conditions.
