La Pelosa Stintino

La Pelosa is a sandy beach break located on the northwest coast of Sardinia near Stintino. The beach faces east toward open Mediterranean water, with distinctive rocky headlands and small islands forming the northern boundary. The spot features a gradual sandy bottom with shallow water extending well offshore, making entry straightforward but limiting wave quality. The average swell of 1.06m indicates light, inconsistent conditions typical of Mediterranean locations. North or northeast winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for kitesurfing. The low wind reliability (12.3%) and modest average wind speed (7.2 knots) suggest this is primarily a fair-weather spot requiring patience for usable sessions. The rocky geography offers scenic appeal but presents hazards for less experienced riders. Best suited for beginners to early intermediates seeking gentle, manageable conditions. Summer months typically offer lighter winds and warmer water temperatures. Riders should note the shallow approach and exercise caution around the rocky northern formations.
