Kitesurfing and Windsurfing in Northern Sardinia and Alghero

If you are looking for the best places to practice surfing in Sardinia, you’ve come to the right place.

Thanks to its central position in the Mediterranean, the island has nearly 2000 km of coastline, exposed to wind and waves most of the year. On average, over 300 days per year offer favorable conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing, making Sardinia a top destination for sea lovers.

When is the best time of year?

The ideal season for surfing in northern Sardinia is winter: in November, December, and January, the mistral wind produces spectacular waves, sometimes 3–4 meters high, with cold water but unforgettable experiences.

Spring and autumn also offer windy days and mild temperatures, perfect for those who prefer calmer conditions while still enjoying kitesurfing and windsurfing sessions.

1. Mugoni Beach

About 15 km from Alghero lies Mugoni Beach, next to La Stalla Beach. A sandy bay over 1.5 km long, framed by the Porto Conte Regional Natural Park and Punta Giglio, offering unforgettable views.

Here, north-west summer thermal winds can reach 20 knots, while light land breezes create perfect waves for surfing and kiteboarding. The wide area allows safe practice even for beginners, thanks to the Shore Wind school offering courses and equipment rental for kitesurfing, windsurfing, wing, and foil.

In summer, the beach can be crowded, so practice is mainly allowed in the kite area at Ninfee Beach, about 1 km from Mugoni.

2. Porto Ferro Beach

With over 2 km of golden sand, Aragonese towers perched on the shore, and a wild panorama, Porto Ferro is one of the most famous and scenic spots on the northwest coast. Its turquoise waters feature powerful waves and strong currents, making it suitable mainly for experienced surfers.

The beach is easily accessible, with free parking, hiking trails, and a surf camp, the Bonga Surf School, where you can take courses or rent equipment. In summer, lifeguards and a beach bar make it perfect for enjoying stunning sunsets and live music.

3. La Speranza Beach

Only 8 km from Alghero, along the scenic coastal road to Bosa, La Speranza Beach lies in a beautiful bay. It features a high-quality right-hand wave breaking on a shallow, rocky seabed with sea urchins, making it a spot reserved for experienced surfers.

It also offers convenient parking, a bar, and a well-known restaurant serving traditional seafood dishes, combining sport and gastronomy.

4. Lido Beach in Alghero

Over 3 km long, Lido Beach is the city’s main beach, just a few steps from the historic center. It offers enough space for maneuvers and fun in the water, making it suitable even for beginners.

In summer, crowds force kitesurfers to move to the kite area at San Giovanni Beach, just 5 minutes away. Convenience is maximized with numerous parking spaces and nearby city services.

5. Porto Pollo Beach

One of Sardinia’s most famous spots, Porto Pollo is on the eastern coast and connects the mainland to the Island of Gabbiani via a thin sandy isthmus. Two parallel beaches, Porto Pollo and Arenaria, offer ideal conditions for all levels of surfers.

The consistent winds and variety of conditions make it a popular destination, perfect for both beginners and those seeking adrenaline and spectacular maneuvers.
