Molfetta

Molfetta is a protected bay on Italy's Adriatic coast facing northwest into the water. The spot consists of shallow, enclosed waters bordered by dense urban development and port infrastructure. The bay's geometry provides natural wind channeling from the northeast and southwest due to the surrounding landscape. Low wind reliability (6.8%) and minimal wave development (0.52m average) indicate this is primarily a light-wind flat-water spot suited to beginners and progression riders. The choppy water conditions reflect wind acceleration around urban structures rather than wave quality. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds that align side-shore across the bay. The spot requires careful navigation around moored boats, breakwaters, and shallow areas. Limited fetch and enclosed nature make this unsuitable for stronger wind or wave-dependent riding. Ideal for learning flat-water techniques and light-wind sessions during spring and summer months when reliability improves.
