Gela Lungomare

Gela Lungomare is a sandy beach break located on Sicily's southern coast facing south toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a long sandy shoreline with a developed pier infrastructure and extensive urban development directly behind the beach. Water conditions are typically mild with small average waves of 0.69m and light swell characteristics. The area experiences very low wind reliability at 1.9%, making consistent sessions challenging. Best wind conditions arrive from easterly (90°) or westerly (270°) directions, which provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to shallow water, sandy bottom, and manageable wave heights. Visibility of the pier and coastal structures is good from the water. Key considerations include checking tide conditions as sandy areas can shift, respecting the designated pier area, and being prepared for extended flat spells given the low wind frequency. The urban setting means facilities are accessible but crowded periods are likely during summer months.
