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 San Giovanni di Sinis

Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE 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 SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at beginner level the best month is usually July, with about 6 good days in 7; in January, February and December, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Cabras. 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).
