About This Spot
Marina di Ravenna is a sheltered lagoon-based spot located on the Adriatic coast of northern Italy. The site is characterized by a sandy beach facing east, with an extensive marina and port facility occupying the northern section. The lagoon provides relatively flat, protected water conditions suitable for beginner progression. However, the area is heavily used for commercial and recreational boating, limiting free riding space and requiring careful navigation around moored vessels and harbor traffic. Wind reliability is very low at 3.5%, with modest average winds of 5.6 knots, making this spot dependent on seasonal conditions. Water is flat with minimal wave development. Best conditions occur with northerly winds that provide side-shore flow parallel to the beach. The spot suits beginners and those seeking flat-water practice in a controlled environment, but persistent planning is necessary due to unpredictable wind patterns and navigational constraints from boat traffic.
