About
Case del Conte (Montecorice) is a low-profile kitesurfing spot on the Campania coast with clean, sandy conditions and choppy water plus small waves. Beach size is reported as medium, and the main riding/launch setup is described as straightforward for self-launch (though specific obstacle details are not reported). A small shore break is noted, particularly when winds build or turn more onshore. For wind, the spot is best in October and November, when southern wind systems are most favorable. Wind directions are reported as SE through SSE to S, with typical ranges cited as about 15–25 knots. Providers also describe moderate gustiness and highlight that conditions are highly dependent on Scirocco weather patterns. Kitesurfing is described as suitable for beginners through intermediate riders. Riding tends toward freeride and small-wave/strapless styles, with choppy water that can support wave riding depending on intensity. Seasonal awareness is important: during the June to September bathing season, kitesurfing is generally restricted near swimmers, and local rules/permissions may apply. Riders should verify whether kitesurfing is allowed and whether a special permit or membership is required. Amenities are limited at the immediate spot but include parking and basic facilities such as toilets and nearby food options. In the wider area, restaurants/cafes and accommodation in Montecorice/Agropoli are referenced, while lifeguard and rescue capacity are described as seasonal/limited.
