Perelli
Perelli is famous for its steady thermal summer winds and frequented mostly by freeriders. Although, if a low pressure system creates waves and the wind comes from the east, Perelli turns into a top wave spot. Corsica and Elba block some of the swell and normally the waves are smaller than up the coast. In strong south or south east wind it is too onshore to have fun here. In that case better to move to Carbonifeira where it can get good for jumping. Strong west is also good for starboard tack. A lot of options in this area!
Conditions – Wind: E-S, WSW-NNW, wave riding, bump and jump, freeride.
Follonica
Follonica is, like Perelli, known for its steady summer winds. North west is ideal for free riders as the water is smooth. Only swimmers and tourists can be distracting you from all the pleasure. In stronger winds it can also be a good place to get into wave riding.
Conditions – Wind: W-NW, freeride and wave.
Punta Ala
Punta Ala is a great place in all wind directions from south to north east. In northerly wind you should go further to the south and in southerly winds to the north to get the steadiest wind. The shallow water is ideal for beginners and learners. If the wind does not come through, Punta Ala is a great place to hang around in. Nature is all around you and if gets too hot, one can hide under the pines.
Conditions – Wind: S-NE, freeride.
“ Tuscany is culturally very diverse and offers a lot of possibilities to enjoy days off the water ”
