Kitesurfing Porto Cesareo Lagoon

Apulia, Italy

Wind & Conditions

Crystal-clear shallow lagoon on the Ionian coast near Lecce; the main kite zone faces west-southwest over the water. The Scirocco (SE, ~135°) is the dominant usable wind, arriving side-onshore from the south at 12–30 kt. Wind from the NW (Maestrale) is offshore and excluded. Flat water ideal for beginners and freestylers; 109+ days per year above 12 kt. Some sections have narrow launch strips requiring care; summer high season brings crowds and coast-guard restrictions. Nearby alternatives: Punta Prosciutto, Torre Lapillo.
