About This Spot
Cirò Marina is a sandy beach break located on the northern Calabrian coast of Italy, facing the Ionian Sea. The coastline runs northeast-southwest with the water body to the southeast. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by vegetated dunes and limited infrastructure. Wave potential is minimal with an average of 0.55m, making this primarily a light-wind spot. The low wind reliability of 13.9% and modest average wind speed of 7.5 knots indicate this location experiences long periods of light or no wind. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (45°) that provide side-shore flow across the beach. The shallow, choppy water conditions and small waves make this suitable only for beginners in light-wind disciplines. Kiters should expect frequent flat spells and very gentle conditions. The proximity of industrial facilities to the north and potential boat operations require awareness of the surrounding area. This spot is most viable during consistent wind periods rather than as a reliable year-round destination.
