Maddalena Spiaggia kite spot in Capoterra, Sardinia, with thermal wind and kitesurfing

MADDALENA BEACH & COPPERTON

Maddalena spiaggia - Capoterra 09012 (CA)

Maddalena Beach and its final section, Copperton, are located about one hour by car from Kite House Sardinia, in the municipality of Capoterra, near the city of Cagliari.

The kite spots of Capoterra are particularly appreciated during the summer months, especially on high-pressure days with winds coming from the south. In the early afternoon, a thermal wind often develops, typically ranging between 12 and 18 knots.

At Maddalena Beach, a launching corridor managed by the local kitesurf school is available and must be used to enter and exit the water. It is mandatory to respect this corridor and avoid launching or landing kites outside of the designated area.

Copperton, Torre degli Ulivi - Capoterra 09012 (CA)

At Copperton, the final and less crowded section of the same beach, there are generally no swimmers and more space to practice kitesurfing, although you may still find students in the area. We recommend parking on the left side of the parking area and always checking the local rules directly with the local kitesurf school before entering the water.

Main winds

The southern thermal wind blows during high-pressure summer days, increasing in intensity in the afternoon. On hot and sunny days, it often blows 5 to 10 knots stronger than forecast.
