Praialonga

Praialonga is a sheltered beach-break spot located on Italy's Tyrrhenian coast facing westward into a protected bay. The beach is characterized by sandy shores backed by residential development, with a highway running parallel to the coastline. Water conditions are choppy rather than well-defined, indicating limited fetch and wave energy. The spot shows a bay-like configuration with surrounding development and green spaces inland. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the beach. The low average wind reliability (11%) and minimal wave height (0.62m) make this a beginner-friendly location suitable for progression in light conditions rather than challenging performance sailing. Kiters should be aware of the shallow near-shore waters, rocky areas visible in the satellite imagery, and the developed shoreline with limited beach space. This spot is best suited for learning and practicing in light-wind conditions rather than developing advanced skills. Water temperature around 19°C suggests seasonal variability in comfort.
