Marina di Pisa

Marina di Pisa is a sheltered beach break located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy, facing westward toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach with consistent shallow water conditions backed by dense pine forest and agricultural land. The town's harbor infrastructure and populated beaches occupy the northern section, while the southern portions offer more open access. This is a light-wind location with minimal swell generation, making it suitable primarily for beginners in summer conditions. Best winds approach from the north (0°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The 6.1-knot average wind speed and 5.2% reliability indicate inconsistent conditions requiring patience. Water temperatures average 16.6°C, requiring seasonal wetsuit consideration. The spot's proximity to residential areas and relatively protected nature make it more suitable for learning and recreational sessions rather than progression. Shallow sandbars and beach infrastructure present navigational considerations. Local knowledge of seasonal wind patterns and tide schedules is recommended before visiting.
