About This Spot
San Pietro is located on the Sardinian coast where a river delta meets the Mediterranean, creating a hybrid environment of lagoon and open beach. The spot features a northwest-facing shoreline with sandy beach terrain and shallow lagoon waters separated from open ocean by barrier formations. The delta system creates complex bathymetry with sandbars and shallow flats ideal for beginners and light-wind conditions. With average wind of 6.5 knots and low reliability at 9.7%, this location is marginal for consistent kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore orientation. Water temperatures average 17.8°C (wetsuit recommended), and small average waves of 0.69m suit learning progression. The sheltered lagoon environment reduces wave exposure and provides natural protection, making it suitable for beginners developing skills. Main considerations include monitoring lagoon depth variations, river mouth currents affecting water movement, and proximity to residential areas requiring awareness of local regulations and usage restrictions.
