About This Spot
Torre Canne Pilone is a bay-style kitesurfing spot on the Adriatic coast of southern Italy, facing northwest into a shallow, semi-enclosed body of water. The coastline borders a developed residential area with organized beach facilities, indicating moderate human activity. The turquoise coloring in the satellite imagery reveals shallow water zones and underwater features characteristic of Mediterranean coastal topography. Average wind speeds are low at 8.1 knots with poor reliability at 14.3%, making consistent sessions unpredictable. Wave conditions are minimal at 0.53m average height, typical for protected bays. The spot suits beginners due to shallow water and limited wave exposure, though low wind frequency requires patience. Side-shore winds from the northeast (45°) provide safe riding conditions parallel to the coast. Water temperature averages 18.5°C, requiring seasonal consideration. Kiters should expect choppy water conditions and should be cautious of shallow areas and potential underwater features. This location is better suited for light-wind practice than progression-focused sessions.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water areas visible in turquoise zones
Rocky outcrops and underwater features indicated by water color variation
Limited fetch distance due to enclosed bay configuration
Residential development and potential boat traffic near shore
