WHEN IS BEST TO GO?
Lo Stagnone happens to
be one of the windiest
kitesurfing locations
in the whole of Italy,
having two opposing wind
systems: the Scirocco and
the Mistral, while also
enjoying strong thermal
winds as a result of the
cooler temperatures of
the open ocean, and the
warm, shallow waters of
the lagoon. This means
that Lo Stagnone is
lucky enough to get a
solid 300 days of wind
per year, with a summer
average of 16 knots, and
an air temperature of
25-30 Celsisus. Through
the rest of the year,
the winds are a little
less reliable, but also a
little stronger, creating
unique and fun new spots
across the lagoon. In
winter, the strength
tends to increase again,
and wetsuits are advised.
