Marina di Vecchiano is a shallow lagoon system located on the Tuscan coast of Italy, separated from the Tyrrhenian Sea by a narrow barrier beach and dune system. The lagoon faces northwest toward the water, with protected shallow areas ideal for light-wind conditions. This spot is characterized by extensive mudflats, seagrass beds, and a narrow tidal inlet that connects to open water. The lagoon environment provides natural protection from ocean swell, resulting in minimal wave energy. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (80-90°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the barrier beach. The spot suits beginners and light-wind specialists due to shallow, forgiving water and minimal swell. However, the extremely low wind reliability (2.2%) and marginal average wind speed (4.9 knots) make this a location better suited for summer thermal sessions rather than consistent kitesurfing. Water temperature averages 16.4°C, requiring seasonal wetsuits. Kiters should be aware of shallow depth, soft bottom conditions, and the need for good local knowledge of tidal patterns affecting water depth and inlet currents.
