Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Chiola beach is oriented towards the east, in the Gulf of Solenzara, which favors a side-on or side-shore wind when it comes from the northeast, east, or southeast. Recommended winds for kitesurfing are from NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, and SSE, making the spot suitable for all levels when conditions are met.
Launching is easy on the fine sand, with a wide take-off area on the public beach, but respect the authorized zones to avoid bathers. Navigation takes place in a protected bay, with calm water in thermals or libecciu, and little tide in the Mediterranean, thus stable all day.
Local feature: chill atmosphere near Solenzara, with the possibility of initiation by instructors. In east wind, the water remains smooth inside the gulf, ideal for progressing without pressure, but watch for gusts when exiting the bay.
