Overview
In the north of Sardinia, the spots are generally exposed to the Mistral, Tramontane, and Grecale winds, with gusty winds sometimes due to the proximity of Corsica. There are often great sessions between April and October when conditions are most consistent, with warmer water than in winter and a very 'glide trip' vibe on a well-winded island. The water conditions vary by location, ranging from shallow and flat waters in sheltered bays to choppy small waves at more exposed spots. Porto Pollo and Punta Trettu are among the most well-known names for kitesurfing, while San Teodoro can become more challenging when the wind picks up. It’s a very interesting area for progression or freestyle, but one must stay alert to gusts, waves, and sometimes cooler temperatures than in the south.
