Cala Vedella faces W, open to the prevailing westerlies, so the wind arrives off the water rather than filtered through the land — the clean, steady flow wing foiling wants, and the reason gusts here are sea breezes rather than land turbulence.
Today's wind is cross-onshore at 7 kn. Leaning onshore, which is the forgiving side for wing foiling: you can hold a line along the beach and anything that goes wrong still drifts you in.
Over the published window Cala Vedella clears 60/100 for wing foiling at Intermediate, Advanced, Expert levels — that is who this spot is for on this sport. Today, 7 of 10 daylight hours clear that line at Intermediate.

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 small, sheltered west-facing cove enclosed by pine-clad cliffs, with fine white sand on a gentle slope into shallow, calm water. Rocky edges suit snorkelling, with Posidonia seagrass near the margins. Kitesurfing is banned in summer and must be done offshore via a licensed operator; swimming zones are buoy-marked. Lifeguards patrol in high season, with disabled-access water entry available. Suited to swimming and paddling rather than wave or wind sports.
