Sardinia’s Long and Windy Road
While many kite spots in Europe operate on a short summer window, Southern Sardinia stretches the season across seven months—from April through October. This makes it a premier destination for consistent wind, scenic landscapes, and diverse kiteboarding styles.
All-Season Overview: What to Expect Month by Month
- April: Often under the radar, April brings calm beaches and early spring thermals—perfect for newcomers and freestyle warm-ups.
- May: Conditions stabilize, temperatures rise, and you’ll enjoy sunny skies and great wind throughout the month.
- June: A consistent favorite. Long daylight hours and steady thermal winds make June optimal for daily kiting.
- July: Peak wind meets peak crowds. Still, Punta Trettu’s wide lagoon handles it all comfortably.
- August: High season with great weather. Early morning or late afternoon sessions are best for avoiding heat and maximizing wind.
- September: A golden month—strong wind, fewer tourists, and pleasant water temperatures.
- October: Quiet but rewarding. Great for a relaxed kitesurf holiday before winter sets in.
Punta Trettu: The Flat-Water Jewel
This shallow lagoon is famous across Europe. With a sea floor of fine sand, butter-flat water, and safe surroundings, Punta Trettu is the ultimate spot for learning, progressing, and freestyling.
Winds like the Mistral and Scirocco find their way here with surprising consistency. Combine that with warm weather and you’ve got a seven-month kite season that’s hard to beat.
Explore Petrol Beach
For those looking to add a little wave action or stay closer to city life, Petrol Beach (La Maddalena Spiaggia) is ideal. It’s more exposed, offering light chop and surfable waves during windy days. Perfect for intermediate riders and those looking for variety.
