About This Spot
Spiaggia Lunga is located in Puglia, Italy, along a southeast-facing bay with shallow, sheltered waters. The spot is characterized by a long sandy beach adjacent to intensive agricultural development and residential areas. The bay provides natural wind protection but also limits exposure to open ocean swells. Water temperatures average 18°C with minimal wave activity (0.51m average), making this primarily a flat-water or very small-wave environment. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking calm conditions and manageable waters. Wind reliability is notably low at 6.5%, with average winds of 6.7 knots, suggesting this location experiences inconsistent wind patterns typical of the Mediterranean. The nearby agricultural zones and suburban development create environmental considerations. Kiters should expect shallow water requiring careful foot placement and be aware of limited swell resources. Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing side-shore orientation. This spot is most suitable for light-wind specialists or training during rare stronger wind days.
