La Caletta

La Caletta is a sheltered beach break located on Sardinia's northern coast facing west toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a long sandy beach with gentle slopes and moderate water depth, making it accessible for progression. The area is characterized by agricultural land immediately inland, creating a relatively protected environment from strong offshore winds. With average wind speeds of only 5.4 knots and extremely low wind reliability at 3.5%, this spot experiences inconsistent conditions throughout the year. Wave heights average 0.55m, indicating small, manageable surf typical of light-swell Mediterranean beaches. The open fetch to the west provides some exposure, but conditions remain generally mild. This spot is best suited for beginners and intermediate kiters practicing light-wind techniques or learning fundamentals. Optimal conditions require northerly winds (around 0°) for side-shore alignment. Kiters should anticipate frequent flat spells and plan sessions during seasonal wind patterns. The shallow water near shore necessitates careful navigation during entry and exit.
