Marina di Modica

Marina di Modica is a sheltered bay on Sicily's southeastern coast, characterized by a southwest-facing shoreline with sandy beach and dense residential development. The spot sits within a protected bay formation, offering relatively calm water conditions typical of Mediterranean coastal areas. Average winds of 7.4 knots and 0.79m waves indicate this is a light-wind, flat-water environment. The extremely low wind reliability (9.7%) makes consistent sessions rare, requiring careful weather planning. The shallow, enclosed bay nature limits wind fetch and wave generation. Best conditions occur with northwest winds providing side-shore flow. This spot suits beginners and light-wind specialists seeking flat-water practice in a protected setting. Kiters should expect minimal swell contribution and be prepared for variable, unreliable wind patterns typical of the Mediterranean coast. The nearby residential areas and visible infrastructure require awareness of limited riding space and potential local traffic. Water temperature around 19.6°C suits summer riding with appropriate thermal protection in shoulder seasons.
