About This Spot
Falconara is a small coastal beach break located on Sicily's northeastern shore facing southeast toward the Tyrrhenian Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with moderate residential and agricultural development immediately inland. The turquoise water indicates shallow conditions typical of Mediterranean beach breaks. With average waves of only 0.62m and low wind reliability at 6.7%, this is a marginal kitesurfing location best suited for light-wind sessions during favorable conditions. The site works best with northeasterly winds providing side-shore conditions. The shallow water and rocky features visible in the aerial imagery suggest this spot is most appropriate for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water freestyle opportunities rather than wave riding. Water temperature averages 19.3°C, requiring seasonal consideration. The tight urban setting with limited beach space and agricultural areas constrains the spot's suitability for larger sessions. Local knowledge regarding tides and seasonal wind patterns would be essential before visiting.
