About This Spot
Cervia is a beach break located on Italy's Adriatic coast, facing east toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach adjacent to a residential town with lagoon-like characteristics typical of the northern Adriatic. The water conditions are predominantly flat with minimal swell generation (0.27m average waves), and wind reliability is critically low at 2.5% with average wind speeds of only 5.4 knots. Best wind direction would be northerly (side-shore), though consistent wind is rarely available. This location is primarily suited to absolute beginners on the rare occasions when wind cooperates, as shallow water near shore and flat conditions limit technical progression. The spot is constrained by low average temperatures (15.6°C) and very limited natural wind generation due to geography. Kiters should expect frequent flat conditions and weak wind days; this is not a reliable destination for regular sessions and is better suited to summer visits with offshore wind patterns.
Hazards & Safety
Extremely low wind reliability (2.5%) - spot is marginal for kitesurfing
Minimal wave height (0.27m average) - insufficient swell for progression
Shallow water near shore - limited deep water for safety
Residential development proximity - potential for increased beach traffic
Flat water conditions typical of Adriatic lagoon environment
