About This Spot
San Felice Circeo Carrubo is a sheltered bay located on Italy's Tyrrhenian coast, characterized by a northeast-facing shoreline bordered by dense residential development and Mediterranean vegetation. The spot features a protected marina at the southern end with moored boats and a breakwater structure. The bay configuration creates a partially enclosed water body with moderate fetch limitations. Water conditions are typically light, with average waves of 0.67m and minimal swell exposure. The low wind reliability (2.1%) and average winds of 5.4 knots indicate this is a marginal kitesurfing location requiring specific weather windows. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The shallow bay floor and proximity to rocky areas demand careful navigation. This spot suits beginners during rare strong wind days due to sheltered conditions and calm water, but low frequency of suitable conditions makes it unreliable as a primary training location. Kiters must avoid the marina area and watch for recreational boat traffic.
