Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Calasetta

Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 15°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at expert level the best months are usually January, February, November and December, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Calasetta. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
