An Endless Season in Southern Sardinia
Kitesurfers dream of wind, space, and warm water—and Southern Sardinia delivers all three. From April through October, the region boasts reliable breezes, beautiful landscapes, and kitesurf-friendly infrastructure. The two star spots are Punta Trettu and Petrol Beach—each offering distinct experiences for riders of all levels.
Wind Calendar: What to Expect from April to October
- April: Cool mornings, sunny afternoons, and steady thermals make April great for easing into the season. It’s quiet, affordable, and ideal for learning.
- May: Winds become more consistent, with water temperatures rising. The month marks the beginning of daily rideable conditions.
- June: Peak reliability of thermals. Long sunny days mean more water time and social beach life.
- July: With both Mistral and thermal winds showing up, July offers high energy and high wind probability.
- August: Still summer peak, but early and late day sessions beat the midday heat. Great vibes and consistent wind.
- September: Water remains warm, and wind patterns strengthen. Advanced riders especially appreciate this month.
- October: Often overlooked, but one of the most rewarding months—steady wind and no crowds.
Punta Trettu: The Learning and Freestyle Hub
Punta Trettu is a kitesurf lagoon like no other. Flat, shallow waters stretch for hundreds of meters, offering safe conditions for progression. It’s ideal for:
- Learning how to kite
- Practicing transitions and tricks
- Enjoying stress-free sessions regardless of level
The spot works well with Mistral and Scirocco winds and is protected from waves, making it beginner-friendly and a freestyle paradise.
Petrol Beach: Ride with a View
For a change of scenery, head to Petrol Beach. Just 20 minutes from Cagliari, it combines decent waves with side-on winds and a more urban vibe. It’s a great spot for a day trip, wave sessions, or sunset rides after exploring the city.
