Feniglia

Feniglia is a lagoon spot located on the Tuscan coast of Italy, featuring a shallow enclosed water body bordered by dense Mediterranean forest. The lagoon faces east toward open water, with a narrow sandy beach separating it from the sea. This is a light-wind location with minimal swell penetration due to the protected lagoon setting. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) that blow parallel to the shoreline, providing side-shore approach. The spot is primarily suited for beginners and intermediate riders seeking sheltered, calm water with minimal wave action. The shallow lagoon depth demands careful water management and limits aggressive maneuvers. Key considerations include the very low wind reliability (2.3% average), which makes consistent sessions unlikely outside seasonal wind patterns. The dense forest creates potential hazards for kite management, and the limited fetch restricts wind development. Average temperatures around 16.7°C suggest wetsuits year-round. This spot works best during spring and autumn when regional wind patterns are more stable.
