Spiaggia Le Saline faces NE, so the prevailing westerly comes over the land before it reaches you. For kite foiling that usually means a gustier, less predictable flow than the raw wind speed suggests.
Today's wind is cross-offshore at 9 kn. Leaning offshore, so a failure drifts you away from the beach rather than back to it — rideable for kite foiling, but not the direction to push your luck in.

Satellite-derived bathymetry with 10 m pixels and 10 cm vertical resolution out to ~40 m depth. The shape of the seabed is what determines where and how waves break.
Most apps run a single global model at 9–25 km. We blend regional NWP from national meteorological offices at 1.3–2 km — UK Met Office UKV, Météo-France AROME HD, ItaliaMeteo ICON-2I — with ECMWF IFS for the 8-day horizon. Finer resolution means the sea breeze, cliff funnelling and bay shadowing that changes everything for a session.
A nearshore wave model propagates the spectrum across the bathymetric mesh — modelling refraction, shoaling, dissipation, focusing and breaking as it goes. Most apps stop at swell + wind. We go further.
10 sport models × 4 ability levels weight wave height, period, wind, tide and breaking conditions differently — calibrated against ridden sessions so the scores mean what they say.
A long (about 1,400 m), NE-facing white-sand beach backed by ancient salt lagoons forming a nature reserve home to flamingos. It is a well-known kite and windsurf destination, with flat lagoon-side water and choppier open sea, best served by NE-E winds from spring to autumn. Kitesurfing on the lagoon itself is prohibited; in summer, kiters must use a buoyed channel, keeping clear of a swimmer-only zone. A lifeguard is reported in peak season.
