The spot works best with West and North-West winds, this last one offers incredible conditions, a nice long and smooth wave ideal for great down the line wave-sailing and jumps, starboard tack. The South-west wind comes side-on and it brings mast high waves for radicals only. With East and south-east winds above 25-30 knots it’s best to move 300 meters down wind in the gulf of Kartibubbo where the wind, side-off, makes the waves longer and smoother, port tack. Best time of the year for wind and waves is autumn, winter and spring, waves up to 4 meters and sail most used 4.5 to 5.3. In the summer the conditions are more freestyle or slalom, a daily thermal wind let’s you out with a 5.7 to 6.3 sail. When the conditions are too radical at Puzziteddu, one can find along the 15 km of sandy coast from Cape Granitola to Tre Fontane, stretches of sea and wind conditions more favourable to each proper level or preferences. There is a windsurfing club on the spot where you find rental, storage, showers, food and beverages! web site www.puzziteddu.it
