Le Gorette

Le Gorette is a small coastal beach break located on Italy's Tuscan coast along the Tyrrhenian Sea. The site features a west-facing shoreline with a sandy beach bordered by dense vegetation and residential development. The shallow, protected bay configuration limits wave formation and fetch distance, resulting in minimal swell energy (0.65m average) and consistently light winds (5.8 knots average). This spot functions as a lagoon-like beach break with gentle conditions suitable primarily for beginners and light-wind specialists. The tight integration of housing, trees, and infrastructure immediately adjacent to the shoreline creates navigational constraints. Best wind conditions arrive from the north, providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The very low wind reliability (5.2%) indicates this location experiences marginal wind conditions for kitesurfing most days. Water conditions are typically flat to rippled rather than swell-driven. This spot suits only novice kiters seeking minimal wind and wave exposure in a protected setting, though consistent rideable conditions are rare.
