Spotorno

Spotorno is a protected beach break located on Italy's Liguria coast, facing southeast into the Ligurian Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with consistent shallow-water conditions suitable for learning and progression. The bay configuration provides natural wind channeling and wave protection from large Atlantic swells. The area is heavily developed with beachfront residential properties and tourist infrastructure, requiring awareness of local beach rules and potential crowding during summer months. Best wind conditions occur with northeasterly winds (45°), which approach parallel to the shoreline. Water temperatures average 17°C, and typical wave heights remain below 0.6m, making this ideal for beginners and intermediate riders seeking controlled conditions. The low wind reliability (9.6%) suggests this spot performs best during seasonal wind patterns rather than year-round consistency. Access is straightforward via beachfront promenade. Kiters should verify local regulations regarding designated water sport zones before sessions.
