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

Kitesurfing in Capoterra – Kopperton & Maddalena Beach

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

The Capoterra kite spots are particularly appreciated during the summer months, especially on high-pressure days when wind forecasts show little or no wind elsewhere.
Even a light southerly breeze is often enough to trigger a reliable thermal wind from early afternoon, usually ranging between 12 and 18 knots.
For this reason, Capoterra is considered one of the most reliable summer kite and wingfoil spots in South Sardinia.

Kopperton, Torre degli Ulivi – Capoterra, South Sardinia

At Kopperton, 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.

Kopperton is the area where we most often operate directly. On summer days when Punta Trettu is not working, our instructors can organize guided kitesurf training sessions here, benefiting from open space, consistent thermal wind and easy access to the water.
Depending on conditions and availability, we can also support progression and refresh sessions for independent riders.

Maddalena Beach – Capoterra, South Sardinia

Maddalena Beach, on the other hand, is a very popular and busy spot, especially in high season.
Access to the water is regulated by an official launching corridor, managed by the local kitesurf school, which must be used at all times.
Due to the high number of riders and beach users, we usually recommend Maddalena Beach for organized lessons through our trusted local partner schools, both for kitesurfing and wingfoiling.

Thanks to this collaboration, we can help guests find the best solution in Capoterra, either by joining our sessions at Kopperton or by booking lessons with experienced local schools at Maddalena Beach, always choosing the safest and most suitable option based on conditions and crowd levels.

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.
