About This Spot
Spiaggia di Magaggiari is a sheltered bay located near Terrasini on Sicily's northern coast, facing northwest toward the Tyrrhenian Sea. The spot comprises a small protected harbor with breakwater infrastructure and an adjacent beach area. The bay's enclosed nature and visible mooring facilities indicate active maritime use, limiting dedicated kitesurfing space. Water conditions are typically light, with minimal swell (0.54m average) and poor wind reliability at just 4.5%, making this suitable primarily for light-wind sessions. The coastline orientation (NW-facing) means northeast winds provide optimal side-shore conditions. This spot works best for beginners during rare stronger wind days, though inconsistent conditions and the presence of boat traffic necessitate careful planning and local knowledge. The shallow bay waters and rocky sections along the shoreline require awareness of hazards. Most kiters would find better consistency at more exposed spots, though this location may offer occasional calm-water learning opportunities.
Hazards & Safety
Breakwaters and jetties restricting water area
Boat traffic in harbor area (visible mooring infrastructure)
Shallow water near beach (light swell suggests limited depth)
