About This Spot
San Leone is a coastal beach break located on the southern coast of Sicily, Italy, facing south toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot consists of sandy beaches interspersed with residential and agricultural development. The area is characterized by shallow, light-swell conditions typical of Mediterranean coastal regions. Wind reliability is notably poor at 3.4%, with average winds around 5.5 knots—marginal for kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that run parallel to the shore. Wave heights average only 0.64 meters, making this suitable primarily for lighter-wind days and beginner progression. The shallow water and proximity to developed areas limit maneuverability. Water temperatures average 19.4°C, requiring light wetsuits in cooler months. This spot is best suited for beginners during rare higher-wind events or as a supplementary location for local kiters. Strong wind days are infrequent, making consistency a significant limitation. The agricultural surroundings suggest potential water quality considerations.
