About This Spot
Milano Marittima is a developed beach resort on Italy's Adriatic coast, featuring a sandy shoreline facing east into the Adriatic Sea. The area is characterized by extremely flat water conditions, making it unsuitable for traditional wave kitesurfing but potentially viable for flat-water freestyle or foiling. The spot benefits from a gently sloping sandy bottom typical of the northern Adriatic. Prevailing winds from the north provide side-shore conditions, though wind reliability is critically low at just 1.5% annually. The area experiences significant maritime traffic from the nearby marina and is heavily developed with residential properties, hotels, and commercial establishments. Access is limited by the dense urban setting. Water temperatures average 15.6°C, requiring thermal protection for most of the year. This spot is best suited to experienced flat-water riders seeking freestyle practice during the rare windy periods. The shallow, protected waters and consistent flatness make it inappropriate for wave riders but potentially suitable for very light-wind foiling when conditions align.
