The main beach of Cagliari, Poetto, between the Sella del Diavolo and the beach of Quartu Sant’Elena, besides being famous for its nightlife, it is also a great winter kitesurfing spot (in the summer is too crowded and there are no kite-zones). At Poetto beach, long approximately 10 km, in the winter season, there is a lot of space. The best winds for kitesurfing at Poetto Beach are the Scirocco and Levante. At Poetto beach every year take place some kite events, like the Kite Foil World Championships.

La Maddalena Spiaggia, better knows by kitesurfers as Petrol Beach, 20 minutes from the center of Cagliari, is the summer kite-spot of Cagliari, perfect with the thermal wind blowing in the hot and synny days of the summer.

Another beach for kitesurfing, always in the south-west of Sardinia, is certainly Chia: white beach and crystal clear waters exposed to the winds blowing from south and east. Chia is usually a winter kite-spot (in the summer is usually really crowded) and a kite-spot for expert due to the waves created often present here. For these reasons, kitesurfing lessons and kite-courses in Chia are hardly to manage, especially for beginners, and not recommended.

The bay of Porto Botte is another ideal place for kitesurfing, suitable both for beginners and experts. It is a long bay about 2 km where there are 3  kite spots: Il Fortino, Porto Botte, Is Solinas.

It may be that Mistral wind (north west, the best kite-spot with mistral is Punta Trettu) or Scirocco (south east, the best spots with Sirocco are Poetto, Chia and Punta Trettu) for a whole week.

As example of what has been written above, you can have look at the following image: it shows the weather / wind forecast for the days of 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 January 2018. As you can see, in this forecast the wind changes direction and intensity every day.
