Overview

Porto Scuso is a kitesurf spot on the southwest coast of Sardinia, near Portovesme in the Sulcis industrial area. Despite its industrial surroundings, the spot receives strong Maestrale (northwest) and Libeccio (west-southwest) winds typical of this exposed southwestern coastline. The bay offers a relatively sheltered riding area compared to the more exposed capes nearby. A practical local spot for riders based in the Carbonia-Iglesias area.
