Vecchie Saline

Vecchie Saline is a lagoon spot located on the northern coast of Sardinia, Italy, characterized by protected shallow waters and salt flat landscapes. The site features brackish lagoon conditions bordered by salt evaporation ponds, residential areas, and light vegetation. The northeast-facing coastline provides natural protection from major ocean swells, making this a calm-water destination. Water conditions are choppy with minimal wave development, suited for flat-water technique work rather than wave riding. Prevailing northwesterly winds are the most reliable for side-shore conditions. This beginner-friendly location works best during light to moderate wind periods when the shallow lagoon remains manageable. Kiters should be aware of depth variations, salt pond structures, and local boat traffic. The spot experiences low wind reliability (5.9%) and modest average winds (5.7 knots), requiring patience for suitable sessions. Best suited for progression-focused riders seeking flat-water conditions and those learning board control in protected environments.
