About This Spot
Marina di Pescia is a flat beach break on Italy's Tyrrhenian coast in Tuscany, facing west toward open water. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by pine forests and agricultural land, with shallow water extending from shore. This is primarily a light-wind, calm-water location suited to beginners or those practicing in minimal conditions. The extremely low wind reliability (6.1%) and modest average wind speed (6.1 knots) mean sessions are infrequent and require patience. When conditions align, north winds provide ideal side-shore coverage. The protected nature of the beach and minimal wave height make this spot safe for learners but limiting for progression. Dense tree coverage can create wind shadow effects and gusts. The area's shallow approach and lack of significant swell make it suitable only for flat-water practice or very light-wind days. Better suited for beginners seeking a sheltered learning environment than experienced kiters seeking challenging sessions.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water near shore - visible sandy areas close to beach
Dense tree/forest coverage along beach - potential for gusty
turbulent wind
Residential and agricultural development nearby - limited space for kite movement
Low wave energy (0.63m average) - limited swell generation
Very low wind reliability (6.1%) - inconsistent conditions
Possible submerged obstacles or vegetation in shallow zones
