Marina di Ragusa

Marina di Ragusa is a sheltered bay on Sicily's southern coast, characterized by a sandy beach backed by dense urban development. The coastline faces southwest into the Mediterranean, creating a naturally protected embayment. The spot functions as a shallow bay with adequate water depth for kitesurfing in the central areas, though nearshore zones are shallow. The extremely low wind reliability (12.2%) is the primary limiting factor, indicating this location receives consistent winds only occasionally. Best conditions occur with northwest to north winds (side-shore), which blow parallel to the coastline. The spot suits beginners due to calm, protected conditions when wind is present, though session frequency is unpredictable. Small average wave heights (0.77m) and light-swell water type confirm protected bay characteristics. Urban infrastructure restricts launch and landing areas to designated beach sections. Water temperature around 19.6°C requires seasonal thermal protection. This location is better suited for flat-water progression than wave riding.
