About This Spot
Tiki Beach is a sheltered bay located on Sicily's southern coast facing south toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a sandy beach backed by developed residential areas and agricultural land. The bay provides protected water conditions with minimal wave energy, making it suitable primarily for light-wind sessions and learning. Water conditions are generally calm with low average swell (0.75m). Wind reliability is notably low at 10.3%, suggesting this location experiences variable and often insufficient wind for consistent kitesurfing. Easterly (90°) or westerly (270°) winds provide side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The shallow, calm waters make this appropriate for beginners and progression riders, though experienced kiters may find conditions limiting. Best conditions occur during seasonal wind patterns when easterlies or westerlies develop. Kiters should be aware of the shallow nearshore zone, residential proximity, and the need to monitor weather closely given low wind consistency. This spot is better suited for practice and light-wind sessions rather than advanced riding.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water near shore - limited water depth for launching
Residential development - potential for spectators and interference
