About This Spot
Foddini is a beach break located on the west-facing Sardinian coast in Italy. The spot features a sandy beach with gentle slope into shallow, light-swell water. Agricultural land extends to the beach, suggesting potential water quality issues from runoff. The satellite imagery shows calm conditions typical of the site's protected nature. With average wind of only 5.1 knots and 2.4% reliability, this location experiences very light and inconsistent wind patterns, making consistent sessions challenging. Average wave height of 0.53m indicates minimal swell exposure. The western coastline orientation means side-shore conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds. This spot suits beginners seeking flat-water practice in a protected environment, though kiter availability may be limited due to marginal wind conditions. Water temperature averages 18.5°C, requiring a wetsuit. The shallow water demands awareness of bottom hazards and careful kite management in light wind to avoid dragging in shallow areas.
