The season of thermal wind starts in March/April till October. But still during winter time it's possible. Some times there is snow on the beach (just in January and February). It's ok from June to September, than it becomes quite cold. The spot is near the mountains and near to Silvaplana spot (South of Swiss). So it's recommended a warm wetsuit during coldest time. April to May: air 15-25°C, water 9-17°C, semi dry wetsuit necessary. June to August: shorty time with air temperatures from 22-35°C, water 19-23°C.

The season of thermal wind stars in March/April till October. Kitesurfing with North winds, only at this beach.

These 4 winds are possible: TIVANO: blowing the whole year from 6-10am out of NE/N. It's coming out of Veltlin and if it is missing, it means that the weather will be bad.

VENTONE: blowing from the North, often after a thunderstorm in the mountains with gusts up to 40-60km/h. Not recommended to kite in.

Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions
do not depend on Tide
on this spot.
Lake Como / Pare, Italy is a
Chop spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
No sandy beach but just grass. You can inflate, rig, launch and land your kite on a quite large flat meadow. But to get into the water we have to walk down a 10 steps thin concrete stair while you fight to keep the kite in the air. When the lake level is high you can jump directly from stairs into the water but when the water is low, like it happens in summer, you need to walk 20/30 meters on slimy and sharp small stones. For experts only!
It's a lake, mostly choppy 10 to 40cm. Not much room to go downwind. 50m downwind to the water access there is a rock: so you need to ride upwind the first 50/100 meters, no mistakes allowed.
