About This Spot
San Vincenzo is a sheltered beach break on Italy's Tyrrhenian coast, located in Tuscany. The spot faces west toward open Mediterranean water, with a well-developed marina at the southern end and residential development extending inland. The beach break consists of sandy bottom with gradual depth increase, suitable for lighter wind conditions. Water conditions remain modest year-round with minimal swell (0.54m average) and moderate temperatures (17.2°C average). The spot functions best in northerly winds (0-45°) that provide side-shore conditions, though overall wind reliability is low at 3.6%. Boat traffic from the marina and proximity to shallow areas require awareness. The combination of low wind reliability, minimal swell, and busy infrastructure makes this primarily a beginner-oriented spot suitable for learners in light wind windows. Best visited during warmer months (May-September) when thermal winds may provide more consistent conditions. Not recommended for advanced kiters seeking challenging conditions.
