La Cinta
La Cinta Beach, San Teodoro, Olbia Tempio, Italy
Santu Diadoru is the Sardinian name for San Teodoro, home to the magnificent La Cinta beach on the northeast coast — three kilometres of white sand fringing a shallow lagoon on one side and open sea on the other. The lagoon side delivers perfect flat water for learning and progression; the open sea side delivers proper waves up to 2.5 metres when Scirocco or Grecale arrive. Stable summer thermals and strong shoulder season Maestrale make this genuinely versatile.
Best months: April, May, June, July, August, September, October
Wind directions: NW, SE, NE
Water: Flat, Chop, Waves
Bottom: Sand
Sports: Wingfoil, Kitesurf, Windsurf
Local tips
When Scirocco arrives from the southeast the open sea side delivers real wave riding. Several schools including KiteGym operate directly on the beach.
