San Remo

San Remo is located on the northwestern Italian Riviera, facing southeast into the Ligurian Sea within a sheltered bay formation. The spot is characterized by protected waters formed by natural headlands and man-made breakwaters, creating distinct harbor zones. The bay's southeast-facing orientation and breakwater system provide moderate wind acceleration while limiting swell exposure. Conditions are typically light, with average winds of 4.5 knots and small waves around 0.56m, making this suitable primarily for beginners and light-wind specialists. The narrow channel between breakwaters and active harbor traffic require careful planning and awareness. Best wind approaches are from the northeast (45°) or southwest (225°), providing side-shore conditions. The extensive urban development immediately inland and visible boat traffic indicate this is an active commercial harbor. Kiters should expect crowded conditions, coordinate with harbor authorities, and exercise caution around maritime traffic and fixed structures.
