MARCH & APRIL
With the spring arrival, from March onwards the weather becomes gradually milder, temperatures rise and wind conditions become more consistent. April is generally considered the month that officially opens the season, with only a few cloudy days and pleasantly warmer temperatures. Mistral and Scirocco alternate during this period and, with passing weather systems, can occasionally bring stronger, gusty winds. Kitesurfing is possible almost everywhere, and wave conditions are still present.
Main winds: NW / N / SE / W
Wind strength: 10–40 kn
Day air temperature: 18–25 °C
Weather: Mostly sunny, rarely cloudy
Water temperature: 15–20 °C
Wetsuit: 5/4 mm
MAY & JUNE
May is usually the month with the highest percentage of windy days. The Mistral often dominates, bringing plenty of sunshine and pleasant temperatures, and the thermal wind starts to work reliably.
With the summer arrival, in June temperatures continue to rise. Days are often warm to hot, with lots of sunshine and regular thermal wind, especially at the well-known thermal spots.
Main winds: NW / SE
Wind strength: 15–30 kn
Day air temperature: 25–30 °C
Weather: Sunny
Water temperature: 20–25 °C
Wetsuit: 4/3 mm – 3/2 mm
JULY & AUGUST
In July and August, the thermal wind works very reliably almost every day in Punta Trettu and Porto Botte.
On the few days with stable high-pressure conditions, it is easy to move to Capoterra, where the southerly wind often still provides good conditions, so you usually don’t miss a kitesurfing day.
Main winds: NW / SE
Wind strength: 15–25 kn
Day air temperature: 30–35 °C
Weather: Sunny
Water temperature: 25–30 °C
Wetsuit: Shorty or lycra
SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER
September and October are still warm and mostly sunny months. The first nice wave conditions start to form again, while the Mistral alternates with the Scirocco.
With the autumn arrival, hot days with lighter winds can alternate with days featuring stronger wind conditions. Beaches are no longer crowded with swimmers, making it possible to kitesurf again at many spots.
This period is also ideal for combining kitesurfing with other activities such as surfing, SUP, wakeboarding, mountain biking, climbing and horse riding.
Main winds: NW / SE / E
Wind strength: 15–30 kn
Day air temperature: 25–30 °C
Weather: Mostly sunny, rarely cloudy
Water temperature: 20–25 °C
Wetsuit: 3/2 mm – 4/3 mm
NOVEMBER & DECEMBER
November and December usually bring less frequent and less consistent wind. Sunny days with lighter winds can alternate with days featuring very strong, unsettled wind and active conditions.
It is a good period to combine kitesurfing with other outdoor activities, taking advantage of quieter spots and mild winter temperatures.
Main winds: NW / N / NE / SW
Wind strength: 20–40 kn
Day air temperature: 15–20 °C
Weather: Sunny and cloudy days, occasional rain
Water temperature: 15–18 °C
Wetsuit: 5/4 mm
JANUARY & FEBRUARY
January and February are the core winter months, often characterised by strong winds that can sweep across the island. Despite this, temperatures generally remain mild, especially on clear days, when the warmth of the southern sun is clearly noticeable.
Local kitesurfers are on the water whenever conditions allow, and wave riding enthusiasts can find very powerful and well-shaped waves during this period.
Main winds: N / NW / NE
Wind strength: 25–50 kn
Day air temperature: 10–15 °C
Weather: Cloudy, sunny and rainy days
Water temperature: 10–12 °C
Wetsuit: 5/4 mm or dry suit
