FONTANAMARE
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.
Main winds
- The North-West wind (Mistral), which predominates in Sardinia, blows rather strong and directly into the entire gulf, particularly at Fontanamare.
- The West wind (Ponente) blows quite well from spring to autumn, especially when the sky is not too cloudy.
