About This Spot
Le Cannella is a small beach break located on Sicily's southern coast, facing southeast toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a sandy beach backed by residential development, with shallow water and rocky features visible near shore. The area experiences weak wind patterns with only 20.9% reliability and average winds of 8.4 knots, limiting session frequency. Water temperatures average 18.9°C with small choppy waves averaging 0.72m, typical of a protected or fetch-limited setting. Northeasterly winds provide side-shore conditions suitable for the beach. This spot suits beginners and those seeking mellow, flat-water practice sessions rather than progression. The low wind reliability and minimal wave size make consistent practice difficult. Local knowledge of tidal effects and seasonal wind windows is essential. Nearby residential areas indicate limited facilities and potential access restrictions. The shallow, rocky nearshore environment requires careful navigation and awareness of potential hazards.
