About This Spot
Ciammarita is a beach-break spot on Sicily's northern coast, facing northwest toward the Tyrrhenian Sea. The coastline is characterized by a narrow sandy beach backed by dense residential development and agricultural land, typical of southern Italian coastal towns. The spot offers very light conditions with minimal swell (0.54m average) and weak wind patterns (5.8 knots average, 3.6% reliability), making it suitable primarily for beginners or light-wind enthusiasts seeking flat-water practice. Best wind direction is northeast (30°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The shallow waters near shore and proximity of buildings and structures present practical constraints. This location functions as a casual beach spot rather than a dedicated kitesurfing destination, best visited during infrequent stronger wind events. The Mediterranean setting provides warm water and scenic surroundings, but conditions remain inconsistent year-round. Suitable for progression and casual sessions rather than serious training.
