Wind: 10–25 kn · NE, E, SE — Sports: windsurf, kite, SUP, surf — Level: beginner — On site: school, rental, food, WC
Water: Flat water or small waves depending on wind direction — a shallow, steady-thermal bay considered ideal for learning; consistent with the beginner level rating.
Launch: Su Tiriarzu beach, ~3 km from Posada town center. A dedicated kite launch corridor exists here under the same Capitaneria di Porto di Olbia bathing-season ordinance as La Caletta; the only school in the immediate area leaves ample free space for both kite and windsurf. Parking is a marked asphalt lot, day-use only (approx. 08:00-20:00 per a camper-parking listing), with a short walking path and small bridge to the beach.
Rules: Wide shallow sandy bay with flatwater and steady thermal wind, ideal for learning; a single school keeps plenty of space free. Best in S/SE and N/NE winds, accessed from the Su Tiriarzu beach parking.
Caution: Very shallow and sandy — low-hazard; onshore wave builds in Levante/Scirocco so keep clear of the shore break.
