Why Riders Love It
The season of thermal wind stars in March/April till October. Kitesurfing with North winds, only at this beach. Wake up early since the Tivano wind blows every day from 6-10am and gets accelerated at this beach to about 3-5 Bft. North wind: sporadic usually 15-40 knots, very gusty. These 4 winds are possible: TIVANO: blowing the whole year from 6-10am out of NE/N. It's coming out of Veltlin and if it is missing, it means that the weather will be bad. BREVA: blowing out of the South if the Tivano becomes less. It's the main wind on this lake and mainly in the North quiet strong, blowing from about 10am to sunset. VENTONE: blowing from the North, often after a thunderstorm in the mountains with gusts up to 40-60km/h. Not recommended to kite in. MENAGGINO: out of the South with strong gusts, mainly after thunderstorms in summer.
When to Go
The season of thermal wind starts in March/April till October. But still during winter time it's possible. Some times there is snow on the beach (just in January and February). It's ok from June to September, than it becomes quite cold. The spot is near the mountains and near to Silvaplana spot (South of Swiss). So it's recommended a warm wetsuit during coldest time. April to May: air 15-25°C, water 9-17°C, semi dry wetsuit necessary. June to August: shorty time with air temperatures from 22-35°C, water 19-23°C.
What to Expect
It's a lake, mostly choppy 10 to 40cm. Not much room to go downwind. 50m downwind to the water access there is a rock: so you need to ride upwind the first 50/100 meters, no mistakes allowed.
