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 Ragna'a vela

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.8 km out (1 in 179). The sea is about 13°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is San Benedetto del Tronto. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).

Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,200–US$2,280 each

about US$1,200–US$2,280 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food.

Our estimate from typical public prices, not a quote: check the real prices before you book (where they come from). Prices are about, in US Dollar (USD): our pound figures at the European Central Bank's rate of 30 October 2026.
