Gizzeria Lido

Gizzeria Lido is a beach break located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, Italy, facing southwest toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach backed by dense vegetation and parallel road infrastructure, creating a narrow usable area. The nearshore zone contains scattered rocks and shallow reef structure that requires careful navigation. Water conditions are generally light, with minimal swell energy (0.51m average) and extremely low wind reliability (4.6%), making consistent sessions challenging. The spot functions as a light-wind venue suited primarily to beginners and light-wind specialists. Side-shore winds from the north (around 345°) provide the safest launch and riding conditions relative to the shore orientation. Kiters should be aware of the confined space between the beach and road, shallow water hazards in the nearshore zone, and the need for patience given the inconsistent wind pattern. Average water temperature of 18.9°C suggests seasonal variation. This location is better suited for progression in marginal conditions rather than skill development in strong wind.
