Lazzaro

Lazzaro is a small coastal settlement on Sicily's eastern shore facing northwest toward the Ionian Sea. The spot features a gently sloping beach break with low wave energy (0.52m average) and choppy water conditions typical of protected Mediterranean coastlines. The narrow strip between developed areas and the sea limits space for kite operations, making this primarily suitable for beginners seeking flat-water freestyle or light wind conditions. Wind reliability is poor at 15.8%, indicating this is not a consistent wind spot. Best conditions occur with northeast winds that provide side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Water temperatures average 20°C year-round, requiring minimal thermal protection. The spot's main challenge is the constrained geography—residential development, road systems, and agricultural zones encroach on available beach space. Kiters should expect inconsistent wind patterns, minimal wave riding opportunities, and a crowded shoreline during peak seasons. This location suits beginners or light-wind enthusiasts practicing in flat water rather than experienced wave riders seeking challenging conditions.
