Hazards

ROCKS Rocky sections along the beach make this an intermediate-to-expert spot — not the learner beach its sandy look suggests.
ALL WINDS Receives almost every wind including the strong Maestrale — one of the most consistently rideable windows in Salento.
SCIROCCO/GRECALE SWELL Scirocco (SE) builds the biggest Adriatic-Salento waves; Grecale (NE) brings faster, choppier ones — different characters, know which is running.
SHARED LINEUP A windsurf, wing and kite excellence spot — expect to share the water with a serious wind-sports crowd.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid tide
Peak season Oct–Apr · Scirocco (SE) for size, Grecale (NE) for fast choppy waves
Swell key SE Scirocco swell (biggest) · NE Grecale (fast, choppy) · Works in almost any wind incl. Maestrale
