Are you planning a Holiday in Sardinia for Kitesurfing? Discover the Sardinia Kite Spots and the Weather conditions of Sardinia

Are you coming to Sardinia and do you like to kitesurf or learn to kitesurf? In this post you can find useful information regarding:

the best spots for kitesurfing in southern Sardinia
Kiteschools in Southern Sardinia
info on Weather Conditions in Southern Sardinia.

1. Kitesurfing Spots in Southern Sardinia

Kitesurfing Cagliari

Cagliari and Poetto beach are among the best spots, at the European level, for sailing. To realize the sail potential of Cagliari, we can simply recall that, in the recent past, Cagliari has been home of the 2012 Kiteboard Race World Championship , home of the 2013 Hobie Cat16 European Championship, home of the 2014 Kiteboard Race World Championship for Masters and Young. In addition, Cagliari has been chosen by Luna Rossa Challenge for training the next America ‘s Cup 2017.

So, Cagliari and Poetto beach are perfect for any sailing sport including kitesurfing.

Kitesurfing Villasimius

Villasimius is one of the most beautiful Sardinia tourist destinations of Sardinia because of crystal waters, sandy beaches and the windy spots.

The main kite spots of Villasimius are Campulongu, Porto Giunco and Simius Playa. You can move from one to another spot (all spots all have a sandy bottom) depending on the wind direction.

During the summer season (from June to mid-September), due to the lack of kitesurf lanes and big number of bathers, for kitesurfing, it is required a boat support (Kitesurfing lift service).

Kitesurfing in Chia

The beach of Chia has a large wind exposure. Usually, north-east, south-west, east and south winds bring nice waves.

During the summer season (May to August), during the hot and sunny days, a thermal wind is blowing (often it can reach an intensity of 20 knots).

Like in Villasimius, also in Chia, during the summer season (from June to mid-September), due to the lack of kitesurf lanes and big number of bathers, for kitesurfing, it is required a boat support (Kitesurfing lift service).

Kitesurfing in Porto Botte

Porto Botte is a bay which lies to the south of Sant€™Antioco island and to the north of Porto Pino beach.

Porto Botte, outstanding with Mistral that blows side-on with flat water, is suitable both beginners and expert riders because, even during the summer season, there are no bathers.

Kitesurfing in Punta Trettu

Punta Trettu, located in the municipality of San Giovanni Suergiu, lies to the north of the island of Sant ‘Antioco.

Punta Trettu is super for kite surfing with Sirocco and Mistral because shallow and flat water, even during the summer season, there are no bathers.

2.Kite Schools in Southern Sardinia

In Cagliari, there are several kiteschool that offers Kite Lessons, Kite Camps and Services.

The recommended kite school is KiteGeneration

3. Weather Conditions in Southern Sardinia

Sardinia, with the white sand beaches, its clear sea, its breathtaking nature, its culture and history, its clima and its traditions is one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean sea.

Whether you want to relax and enjoy nature, enjoy scuba diving or snorkeling in its clear waters, or to have kitesurfing, Sailing, Surfing, SUP, Bike, Sardinia is the ideal place.

Among the most charming places of whole Sardinia, the south of the Island holds a position of respect: Villasimius, Costa Rei, Geremeas, Cagliari, Pula, Chia, Teulata and Carloforte have nothing to envy to the most famous Costa Smeralda in the north of the Island.

A must for any Holidays in Southern Sardinia is Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. Cagliari, in fact, is one of the centers of Sardinia with more services and it is the basis of several low cost airlines, including Ryanair and Easyjet: for those reasons Cagliari is easily reacheble in by flying from many European cities (eg London , Edinburgh , Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Geneva, Basel, Zurich, Berlin, Basen, Dussendorf, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Kaunas, Oslo, Krakow, Moscow , Milan, Rome).

In Sardinia and Cagliari, two are the prevailing winds: Mistral (blowing from the North-West) and Sirocco (blowing from South-East). In addition, in Cagliari, in the hot and sunny days (usually from April to October), a local thermal wind (sea breeze) is blowing reaching often an intensity of more than 15 knots.
