Rossano

Rossano is a Mediterranean beach break located on Italy's Calabrian coast, facing south toward the Ionian Sea. The spot features a sandy shoreline with significant residential and agricultural development immediately inland. This is a light-wind location with very low reliability at only 3.7%, making consistent sessions difficult. Average wind speeds of 5.1 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, and waves average just 0.35m. The shallow, choppy water indicates limited fetch and a protected or partially enclosed bay environment. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that provide side-shore approach across the narrow beach zone. The proximity of buildings and infrastructure limits space for safe kiting. This spot suits only beginners during rare strong wind days, and many sessions will lack sufficient wind. Water temperature averaging 19.1°C requires thermal protection in winter months. Local knowledge of seasonal wind patterns is essential, as overall conditions are marginal compared to more exposed Mediterranean locations.
