About This Spot
Fiesa is a shallow bay located on Slovenia's Adriatic coast, characterized by a protected embayment with a freshwater lake connection visible in the satellite imagery. The spot sits within a developed coastal zone with residential areas surrounding the water body. The bay opens toward the northeast, with a sand and shale bottom typical of the northern Adriatic. This is primarily a flatwater kitesurfing location, suitable for freestyle and light-wind practice due to minimal wave activity (0.24m average). The presence of the inland lake creates unique water conditions and occasional current patterns. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°), which blow side-shore across the bay mouth. The low wind reliability (7.6%) and modest average wind speed (5.8 knots) indicate this is better suited for light-wind sessions rather than performance riding. The spot works well for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flatwater practice in a protected environment. Kiters should be aware of boat traffic, shallow areas in the lagoon, and potential thermal effects from the freshwater lake intake. Summer months offer the most stable conditions.
