Fontanamare – Wave Kite Spot in South Sardinia

Fontanamare Beach is located about 25 minutes by car from Kite House Sardinia, in the municipality of Gonnesa, on the south-west coast of Sardinia.

Together with Porto Paglia (well known surf spot with a kiosk), Plage Mesu (popular with families) and Punta S’Arena, Fontanamare is part of the long sandy coastline of Gonnesa.

As a kite spot, Fontanamare is especially appreciated for its wave conditions, mainly from autumn to spring. During summer, kitesurfing is generally tolerated by swimmers and local authorities — the beach is usually not very crowded — and can still offer enjoyable sessions.

The wide and long beach inside the gulf makes Fontanamare a relatively safe spot. However, attention should be paid to sea currents, which can become tricky during strong swell or rough sea conditions.

The wind blows throughout the year, mostly in on-shore or side-on directions.

Thanks to its open-sea conditions and the presence of waves, Fontanamare is appreciated by independent riders, especially during autumn, winter and spring.

When conditions are right, our instructors can accompany riders for freeride and wave sessions, offering on-the-spot support and an experienced read of wind and sea conditions.

Depending on the forecast, we can also organize day trips to Fontanamare as part of our daily kite trips in South Sardinia, choosing the best spot of the day based on wind, waves and rider level.
