LO STAGNONE IN SICILY – THE BIGGEST KITE LAGOON IN EUROPE
KITE COURSES AND WINGFOIL COURSES UNDER THE BEST CONDITIONS
Shielded from the offshore island, Isola Grande, the water inside the lagoon is a maximum of 1.80 meters deep, making it the perfect spot for beginners, advanced kitesurfers and those who like freestyle laboratory conditions.Even in stronger winds, the water remains very shallow. No trace of waves.
Since the lagoon is completely enclosed, almost all wind directions are well rideable. In summer, due to the heat, there is mainly thermal wind from the north. During the rest of the year the winds depend on the weather conditions. The western part of Sicily is also one of the windiest spots in Europe, along with Tarifa. The main wind directions are northwest (Mistral, Tramontana), which drive the kites from May to October and are even strengthened with a local thermal, and more rarely southeast (Scirocco).
In summer, stable high-pressure weather conditions dominate Europe. Then you can almost always count on the very constant thermal winds between 15 and 17 knots.
The wind yield is also quite high in summer (May-September). About 70% of the days there are constant winds above 11 knots with few gusts and average wind forces of 15 – 17 knots.
In the winter months the wind days are less but the wind gets stronger and rougher. Here there are also days with winds of 25 – 35+ knots.
Europe’s largest lagoon
The Laguna dello Stagnone is Europe’s largest flat water lagoon. Ankle to hip deep water with pleasantly warm temperatures await you here. Kitesurfing in the natural reserve in the heart of Europe.
70% windy days
From May to September the spot offers 70% wind days with over 11 knots of wind. The average wind force is 14 – 17 knots.
Ideal course conditions
Lo Stagnone is ideal for kitesurfing and wingsurfing courses. Shallow water and almost infinite space ensure extremely safe and uncomplicated course conditions.
Freestyle Paradise
For freeriders, freestylers and wakestylers the lagoon offers best conditions. The constant thermal wind in summer and the super flat water make practicing new tricks much easier.
WANT TO GO OUT IN THE OPEN SEA?
OUTSIDE THE LAGOON YOU CAN HAVE FUN IN THE WAVES.
If you would like to experience deeper water, you can easily kite into the open sea by passing the “Spiaggia di San Teodoro” at the northern end of the lagoon. Also kitefoiling or wingfoiling is possible here. On some days there is also a small swell at the opening of the sea where you can have fun. However, this area cannot be monitored from our station, so you should be able to kite really well if you want to go there. We also recommend that you never kite alone in the open sea.
TAHITI BEACH
KITING LIKE IN THE CARIBBEAN
When the south wind sweeps across the lagoon, it’s time for experienced kiters to make a sidetrip to Tahiti Beach. The turquoise colors of the water, the panorama and the flair that a kitesurfing day at Tahiti Beach provides, guarantee an unforgettable experience. It is the crystal clear turquoise blue water on one side and the pink-red colored salt flats on the other side that make such a day unforgettable.
Due to the ideal location of our kite station, it is super convenient to kite easily to Tahiti Beach within about 10 minutes.
From San Teodoro it is also possible to go there by boat. So you can take a bit more equipment and also supplies with you.
