About This Spot
Platamona Lido is a sheltered lagoon spot on the Sardinian coast with the water body oriented north and the coastline facing south. The lagoon is enclosed by dense vegetation and residential development, creating a protected but wind-limited environment. The beach strip is narrow with immediate development backing the shore. The spot offers flat to very small wave conditions typical of enclosed lagoons, making it suitable primarily for beginner kiters or those seeking light-wind flatwater sessions. Wind reliability is notably low at 8.1%, suggesting this location is frequently underpowered. Side-shore conditions occur with easterly winds, though the surrounding tree coverage generates significant wind shadow effects. Water temperatures average 18°C, requiring seasonal consideration. The spot's main appeal is accessibility and safety for beginners, but progression is limited by consistent small wave conditions and low wind frequency. Kiters should expect light, variable winds and plan sessions around predictable wind windows. The sheltered nature makes this unsuitable for intermediate or advanced riders seeking challenge or wave riding practice.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow lagoon water with limited fetch
Dense tree coverage on surrounding land creating wind shadows
Residential development along shore with potential obstacles
Narrow beach strip between lagoon and developed areas
Low wind reliability (8.1%) limits session frequency
Small wave potential (0.72m average) restricts progression
