About This Spot
Vasto Marina is a beach break located on Italy's central Adriatic coast, facing east toward the open sea. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by intensive residential and commercial development. A small pier and marina infrastructure are visible, indicating moderate maritime activity. The beach gradient appears gradual with sandbars typical of Adriatic coast formations. Side-shore winds from the north would be optimal, though prevailing data suggests very low wind reliability at this location. Average wind speeds of 6 knots are marginal for kitesurfing, and choppy 0.48m wave conditions indicate poor swell exposure. This spot suits beginner kiters during the occasional stronger wind events, offering protected conditions and sandy launch areas. However, limited wind consistency and shallow waters make it unreliable for regular progression. The developed shoreline means crowded conditions and limited space during peak seasons. Best visited during thermal wind periods (afternoon sea breezes) in warmer months.
Hazards & Safety
