Intermediate

Open sea with moderate chop of 0.3 to 0.7m in Maestrale and Levante. Sandy bottom near shore, posidonia at depth. Water is warm and exceptionally clear — typical of the southeast Sardinian coast. Long downwind run available along the straight coastline.

Multiple parking areas along the Costa Rei road, accessible from Muravera via the SP17. Services in Costa Rei village (restaurants, accommodation, shops). Busy in July-August — arrive early.

Costa Rei benefits from a wide wind window covering both the Maestrale (northwest) and Levante (southeast). The Maestrale blows 15 to 25 knots in summer, typically afternoons. The Levante arrives in distinct episodes of 2-3 days, often stronger. The relatively straight southeast-facing coastline means the Levante hits the beach at a good angle for riding. Thermal sea breeze from the east also provides lighter sessions on calm synoptic days.
