Sassi Neri

Sassi Neri is a small coastal beach break located on Italy's Adriatic coastline, facing east toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach bordered by dense forest and limited developed infrastructure, creating a relatively sheltered setting. The narrow beach access between forest and sea makes this an intimate location with constrained wind corridors. Water conditions show minimal wave energy (0.38m average), indicating this is primarily a light-swell environment suitable for progression rather than powerful sessions. The presence of visible rocks and boulders along the shoreline requires careful navigation. With very low wind reliability (1.7%) and modest average wind speeds (5.2 knots), this spot functions best during specific wind windows rather than as a consistent destination. North wind (0°) provides optimal side-shore conditions for the east-facing beach. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking protected, mellow conditions with manageable wave size and minimal exposure to strong currents. Local knowledge of rock hazards and tidal variations is essential before visiting.
