Water: Glassy, gently-sloping flat water close to shore in Scirocco, transitioning to chop further out; bump-and-jump to moderate wave conditions in SSW-NW winds.
Launch: Rig directly on the beach at one of three agricampeggios (rustic beach campsites) with direct sand access; basic toilets/showers/camper waste disposal on site, no shops.
Rules: Removing the white quartz sand is strictly forbidden and fined. Scirocco (SE) is offshore here, giving flat-water speed/freestyle close in; in SSW–NW it turns to bump-and-jump or moderate waves.
Caution: Scirocco is offshore — you drift seaward fast and breakages leave you downwind of land; never sail alone. Exposed, gusty in strong wind.
