The best kitesurfing spots in Sardinia
Sardinia is one of the best kitesurfing destinations in Europe. Thanks to its constant winds, fantastic beaches and varied conditions, the island offers the perfect spot for every level. Whether you want to learn kitesurfing in Sardinia or hone your technique, you’ll find ideal conditions here.
Posada – kitesurfing insider tip on the east coast of Sardinia
Posada is one of the best and still relatively unknown kitesurfing spots in Sardinia. The spot is located on the east coast of Sardinia and offers ideal conditions for beginners and advanced kitesurfers. The wide bay, the large amount of space and the constant wind make this spot perfect for beginners and intermediates. The view of the medieval village of Posada and its castle from the water is unique.
Why kitesurf in Posada?
✔ Large bay with plenty of space for launching, landing and practising
✔ Constant winds and local thermals in summer – often stronger wind than in the forecast
✔ Less crowded than other kitespots
✔ Campsite right next to the spot
✔ Professional instruction at the Nido Surf kitesurfing school
The best wind in Posada blows from the south-east (Scirocco), and thanks to the thermal boost, the wind is often a few knots stronger than forecast in summer. This means that you can still get out on the water here even on weaker days. ATTENTION: During the season from May to September, the kitesurf lane at the Nido Surf Center must be used to access the water.
Porto Pollo – the wind sports mecca in the north
Robby Naish made Porto Pollo famous after a visit in 1979 and now it is one of the best known kitesurfing spots in Sardinia. The spot offers a unique double bay with two beaches – one side with flat water, one side with choppy water. ATTENTION: Kitesurfing is not permitted in the right-hand bay with shallow water from May to September!
Highlights of Porto Pollo:
✔ Reliable wind through the strait between Sardinia and Corsica (jet effect)
✔ The mistral blows here often and sometimes strongly
✔ Good infrastructure with kite schools, rental stations and restaurants
The best wind in Porto Pollo is the mistral from the northwest. As Porto Pollo is very popular, it can get quite crowded in high season. If you want to practice in a relaxed manner, you should either come early in the morning or outside the high season.
Punta Trettu – The shallow water spot in the south
Punta Trettu in the southwest of Sardinia is one of the best shallow water spots on the island. The spot offers mirror-smooth water and is therefore ideal for freestylers and anyone who wants to improve their tricks.
What makes Punta Trettu special?
✔ Flat water – ideal for tricks and maneuvers
✔ Constant winds all year round
✔ Perfect conditions for freestyle kiters
As the spot is located away from the classic tourist areas, there is usually less hustle and bustle here than at other kitesurfing hotspots.
Chia – waves and wind in the south
Chia is another fantastic kitesurfing spot in Sardinia, especially for wave lovers. The wind here often blows from the south and makes for challenging conditions.
Why Chia?
✔ Waves for wave kiters
✔ Wide sandy beaches with plenty of space
✔ Fantastic landscape with dunes and crystal-clear water
In Chia, it is important to check the forecast carefully, as the wind is not as reliable as at other spots.
