Fiumicino (Coccia di Morto)
Italie · Lazio
Coccia di Morto is a kitesurfing spot located north of Fiumicino, near Rome in Lazio. It can be accessed by following the northern branch of the Tevere River to the end of the road, then turning right towards the beach. It is a place known to locals for its proximity to Fiumicino Airport and its wild atmosphere, despite the somewhat macabre name related to bodies thrown into the Tiber during Roman times.
The spot is next to Lido di Ostia and offers a beautiful stretch of sand for practice. A surf school is located at the chiosco Azul via Della Pesca, making it easy for passing riders to have sessions. It is a popular place for its consistent wind in season and its easy access from the capital.
The bottom is a mix of sand and rocks, with a wide beach that is well-suited for launching. Nearby spots like Baraonda or Focene are a few kilometers away for variety.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The Coccia di Morto spot works well with a side-shore wind coming from the northwest or west, which often blows in gusts on the southeast-facing beach. The navigation area extends about 4 km of beach, with easy launching on sand. Prefer the northern part for takeoff, away from swimmers in summer.
The water is generally choppy with small to medium waves, especially when the wind is onshore from the southeast. Be cautious of rocky areas to the north, which can create more consistent but risky waves for launching. In strong winds, stay in the central area to avoid conflicts with fishermen or surfers.
No major channel but the nearby river sometimes influences the current. The best days are with thermal wind in the afternoon, currently scoring around 45/100 with 21 kts.
