Wind, weather & water

There’s wind 70% of the time from April through to November. The most common direction is the ‘Mistral’ wind which blows side-shore from the left on 70% of windy days, while the ‘Scirocco’, which comes up from North Africa, blows 25% of the time. The other direction is the ‘Libeccio’, which is pretty rare and usually not very strong, blowing side-on from the right and is a good wind for summer foil sessions.

Water temperatures range from 18°C / 65 °F in early spring to 28°C / 82°F at the warmest point in mid-summer. On land it’s similarly pleasant with temps hovering between 25°C / 77°F and 30°C / 86% in season, dropping down to around 15°C / 59°F in the winter. During the season you won’t need a wetsuit but there are days you’ll appreciate one in the late or early season. The climate on dry land is equally pleasant, so some thin layers for the evenings is the most you’ll need in summer. Pack some long trousers if you’re visiting in the colder months.
