About This Spot
Santa Giusta is a lagoon-based kitesurfing spot located in Sardinia, Italy, featuring a sheltered body of water oriented northwest-southeast. The spot is characterized by shallow lagoon conditions with limited fetch and minimal wave generation. The coastline faces northwest, making northeast and southwest wind directions suitable for side-shore conditions. However, this location presents significant challenges: the 1.9% wind reliability indicates consistently light wind conditions unsuitable for most kitesurfing activities, and the average wave height of 0.61m provides minimal water movement. Water temperature averages 18.1°C. The spot sits adjacent to major highway infrastructure and populated areas, limiting spacious riding zones. The murky water suggests algae or sediment presence. Best suited for absolute beginners or light-wind specialists during rare stronger wind events, though conditions are generally marginal for the sport. Most kiters should seek alternative spots with more reliable wind and wave exposure.
Hazards & Safety

Low wind reliability - only 1.9% average
Highway infrastructure adjacent to spot - noise and potential interference
Possible industrial or commercial activity visible near shore
Murky water conditions suggest algae or sediment
Extremely small average wave height (0.61m)
