About This Spot
Ostuni is located on the Adriatic coast of Puglia, Italy, facing a southeast-oriented bay with shallow to moderate depths. The spot features a developed coastline with sandy beaches interspersed with rocky limestone formations and cliffs typical of the region. Water conditions are generally choppy with limited wave development, making this primarily a flat-water or light-wind kitesurfing destination. The bay configuration provides natural protection but limits wind exposure and fetch distance. Low average wind speeds (8.4 knots) and modest reliability (16.6%) suggest this spot requires patient wind-watching. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds from approximately 45°, which provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice in protected conditions. Kiters should be aware of shallow water near the shoreline, rocky obstacles, and the enclosed bay geography that can create unpredictable wind patterns. Local knowledge of tide and seasonal wind patterns is recommended before visiting.
