About This Spot
Frassanito is a beach break located on Italy's Adriatic coast in Puglia, facing eastward into the Adriatic Sea. The spot features a sandy shoreline bordered by dense vegetation and agricultural land, with clear depth gradation visible in the water coloration. The shallow turquoise zone extending offshore indicates gradual depth increase, typical of this coastal region. With average wind speeds of 9.1 knots and wind reliability of only 22.5%, this spot experiences inconsistent conditions. Best wind direction is northerly (000°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The small average wave height of 0.77m and choppy water conditions make this suitable primarily for beginners and light-wind enthusiasts. The proximity to residential areas and agricultural zones suggests moderate boat and human traffic. Water temperatures average 18.3°C year-round, requiring seasonal wetsuit consideration. This location is best suited for learning and practice sessions during rare consistent wind windows rather than for advanced progression.
