About
39 Beach (Rimini) is a developed, sandy beachfront spot with clean water and generally easy access. The launch is open and wide, but summer conditions are busier due to umbrellas and swimmers, which affects how much space you can safely use. Wind is best in the April–October window, with a strong thermal contribution in warmer months. In summer, a sea-breeze pattern tends to build into the afternoon (around 1:00 PM–6:00 PM), producing generally moderate wind suitable for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Wind can become more variable near shoreline structures (including a nearby bridge/pier), so expect some localized turbulence. For kitesurfing, conditions are typically flat-to-choppy and can support both freeride and freestyle (and some wave riding), but there is a key limitation: kitesurfing is prohibited during the main summer season (June, July, August). If you’re planning a summer trip, prioritize windsurfing/wingfoiling options and ensure you follow any designated launch channels and mandatory distances from swimmers. Surfing is possible as a beach break with moderate, peeling waves (best matching an easterly swell). Overall, the beach is well suited to beginners for water-wind sports thanks to the wide sandy access—provided you plan around seasonal rules and summer crowding.
