Porto Pollo has two beautiful bays created by the promontory of Isola dei Gabbiani, with far reaching views to the archipelago of the Magdalena Islands. Your base here is the Bay of Dolphins popular with kitesurfers and a local school offers all levels of instruction.

It is all year resort (best time to go is March – October).  is one of the most stunning islands in the Mediterranean. For kitesurfers and non-kitesurfer alike you will find something here for everyone. With white sandy beaches and crystal clear water as fine as the Caribbean. It is suitable for the beginner to advanced kitesurfer. Sardinia offers kitesurfers not only an ideal climate but also almost perfect wind conditions at least 10 months a year.

Sardinia has four winds depending on the time of year. The Spring brings the tramontana from north to east with 6 – 8 Beaufort. In the summer the poniente is south/west bringing 4- 8 Beaufort, and in the autumn the scirocco from North Africa with 5-6 Beaufort, and occasionally up to Force 9.

Porto Pollo is located in the windiest point in Sardinia. The proximity to Corsica creates a funnel effect which brings winds that blow up to 8 Beauforts and over. Due to the structure of the two bays you can choose to surf in the protected safe conditions or risk the adventure of sailing in the channel where the waves crest as tall as a rig.

Air temperature in the summer: 26-31°C Water: 21-24°C

Air temperature in the spring/autumn: 18-25°C Water: 17-21°C
