Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
San Foca is a small bay located on Italy's Adriatic coast in Puglia, characterized by a northeastern-facing shoreline. The bay is partially enclosed by a man-made breakwater creating a protected harbor zone, with residential development extending directly to the waterfront. The water is shallow and relatively sheltered, making this primarily a beginner-friendly spot. Conditions are generally light, with average wind of 9.1 knots and modest wave heights of 0.64m. The low wind reliability (22.8%) suggests inconsistent conditions. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The presence of harbor infrastructure, moored vessels, and rocky shallows makes this spot suitable for learning rather than progression. Kiters should be aware of boat traffic, avoid the breakwater zone, and expect choppy, unorganized water conditions typical of sheltered bays. This location works best during rare stronger wind days when reliability increases.
