About This Spot
Puzziteddu is a protected bay on Sicily's northern coast facing southeast into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with organized resort facilities backed by agricultural land, with rocky underwater formations visible in the shallow bay waters. The bay's enclosed nature provides shelter but limits wind window, making consistent conditions difficult despite proximity to Mediterranean swell sources. Best conditions occur with northeast or north winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the coastline. The shallow, rocky-bottomed waters and submerged obstacles make this a beginner-friendly spot for light wind sessions, suitable for progression riders practicing in controlled conditions. Water temperature around 18.9°C requires seasonal consideration. The low wind reliability (13.6%) and minimal average swell (0.88m) indicate this spot functions best as a training location during stronger seasonal wind patterns rather than a consistent kitesurfing destination. Local hazards require awareness of underwater rock formations and nearby coastal infrastructure.
