San Nicolò kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Italy · Sardaigne
Overview
San Nicolò is a kitesurf spot on the southwest coast of Sardinia, near the Capo Altano area in the Sulcis region. The spot benefits from the Maestrale (northwest) and Libeccio (west-southwest), which are the dominant winds on this exposed stretch of coastline. The southwest Sardinian coast is relatively wild and unspoilt, with dramatic cliffs and clear water. A good option for riders looking to explore the less-visited southern coast of the island.
