Due Rocche (Sicily)

Due Rocche (near Licata) is a sandy beach kitesurf spot known for wind from the SSW to W sector (SSW, SW, WSW, W) and for producing reliable afternoon wind during the summer season. Conditions are generally described as clean water with chop plus small-to-medium waves, making it a solid choice for riders looking for everyday freeride with some wave riding when the wind and sea state line up. The spot’s main focus is kitesurfing, and sources repeatedly note that the beach area is the primary launch option with ample space for setting up and launching. Two prominent rock formations in the water (the “two big rocks” near the shoreline) are a key local feature: they can create localized turbulence and create hazards during approach, so riders are advised to keep a safe distance from this area and to be more careful when entering or launching near the rocks. In terms of wind timing, the spot is best from May through September. Summer sessions are typically supported by a thermal sea-breeze build in the afternoon (reported as roughly 13:00–18:00), and wind reliability is described as high during summer. Outside summer, winds may still be possible from the same general directions, but the thermal effect is less dependable. Safety and access considerations matter here: swimmer traffic can be high in July and August, and during the bathing season (June to September) there are swim-zone-related riding restrictions (including keeping at least 200 meters from shore while riding, and following designated launch lanes if provided). There is no dedicated kite beach reported, but tolerated kite space is described on the left side of the beach front toward the two big rocks. Weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends in peak summer.
