About This Spot
La Torre is a lagoon-based kitesurfing spot located on Italy's Adriatic coast, featuring a sheltered shallow water body separated from open sea by a narrow strip of sand and rocky features. The lagoon orientation (approximately NW-SE) creates a protected riding area bounded by residential development to the south and east, with rocky formations visible in the water. The spot is characterized by very light conditions with low wind reliability (7.5%) and minimal wave energy (0.39m average), making it suitable primarily for flat-water freestyle and light-wind progression. The shallow lagoon waters and presence of vegetation require careful navigation and local knowledge. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore flow across the lagoon. This spot suits beginners and light-wind specialists seeking protected conditions, though the unreliable wind statistics and shallow, obstacle-filled waters demand caution. Water temperature around 18°C suggests seasonal variability. The enclosed nature limits fetch and wave development, making this primarily a freestyle destination rather than a wave-riding venue.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow lagoon waters with variable depth
Rocky outcrops visible in water near shore
Seagrass and vegetation in lagoon
Proximity to residential areas and boat traffic
Limited fetch distance due to enclosed lagoon
Potential strong currents through lagoon channels
