About This Spot
Rimini is a beach break located on Italy's Adriatic coast, facing east toward the sea. The spot features a wide sandy beach with organized beach facilities and nearby urban development. The shallow nearshore zone with visible sandbar patterns creates choppy conditions typical of enclosed water bodies with limited fetch. Average wind speeds of 5 knots are below the minimum required for kitesurfing (typically 10+ knots), and the extremely low wind reliability of 2.4% indicates this location experiences favorable wind conditions only rarely. Wave heights average just 0.31m, making wave assistance negligible. The spot suits only beginners during the infrequent periods when sufficient wind occurs. Kiters should note that the low wind reliability makes this an unreliable destination; conditions are more commonly marginal or unsuitable. The organized beach infrastructure suggests moderate tourist activity. Side-shore wind from the north is ideal when it occurs. This spot is better suited as a secondary option rather than a primary destination for kitesurfing.
Hazards & Safety
Low wind reliability (2.4%) - spot rarely has sufficient conditions
Very small wave height (0.31m average) - minimal wave assistance
Choppy water conditions - indicates conflicting wind/wave patterns
High urban density - potential boat traffic and congestion
Shallow nearshore zone - visible sandbar structures limit water depth
Beach infrastructure - umbrellas and beach equipment visible along shore
