Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
At Birgi lies the northern of the two coastal strips where you may kitesurf in the Isole dello Stagnone nature reserve, designated by the Marsala maritime authority because the municipality sees no significant bathing there. According to the same ordinance the water is shallow along almost the entire coast of the reserve, which is why you walk the first 100 metres and only ride freely beyond 200 metres. The shore faces west, so west to north-west is onshore and south-west side-on, while north and south blow cross-shore and north-east and south-east are side-off. An easterly blows you out into the lagoon towards the islands, and because Windulu treats the lagoon as open water, it then gives a no-go. Tide plays no part. The live data is the METAR from Trapani Birgi airport at 2.6 kilometres, one report an hour, with a gust only when one is reported.
In the Lo Stagnone reserve kiting is only allowed from the two coastal strips in annex 8: at Birgi and south of the salt pans. You walk the first 100 m, between 100 and 200 m you may only go on the board or in body drag perpendicular to the shore, and only after that do you ride freely; do not launch from a jetty with the kite hooked in. Daytime only, from age 14, helmet and buoyancy aid required. Source: Ufficio circondariale marittimo di Marsala, ordinanza 19/2026 art. 15.
The open water at Lo Stagnone (Birgi) faces WNW (285°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, northeast, southeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the east, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
