About This Spot
Jolly Beach is located on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast of Italy, characterized by a westward-facing sandy beach with sheltered conditions. The spot sits within a developed coastal area with significant residential and commercial infrastructure immediately adjacent to the shoreline. The water shows light turquoise coloration indicating shallow conditions close to shore, typical of protected Mediterranean beaches. Best wind direction is from the north (0°), which provides side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to flat water, minimal swell, and sheltered nature. Wind reliability is notably low at 3.7%, making consistent sessions infrequent. The shallow depth and nearby obstacles require careful launch and landing procedures. The combination of light winds (5.7 knots average) and minimal wave height (0.56m) creates a controlled environment but limits progression for advanced riders. Summer temperatures and Mediterranean conditions make this a fair-weather destination rather than a reliable year-round spot.
