Marina San Nicola

Marina San Nicola is a residential beach break located on the Tyrrhenian coast of central Italy, south of Rome. The spot features a westward-facing shoreline with access to shallow coastal waters. The area is characterized by dense residential development immediately inland, limiting ground space and indicating a protected or semi-enclosed setting. Water conditions show minimal wave energy (0.64m average) with light swell. Wind reliability is notably low at 5.6% with average winds of 6.4 knots, suggesting this location frequently experiences light wind conditions unsuitable for kitesurfing. The rocky/uneven seabed visible in satellite imagery indicates potential foot hazards. This spot is most suitable for absolute beginners during rare stronger wind events, though conditions are generally marginal for productive kitesurfing sessions. The proximity to residential areas and coastal infrastructure requires conservative approach to launching and landing. Better wind-exposed spots may be available elsewhere along the Italian coast.
