Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
South of the salt pans lies the second strip where the Marsala maritime authority allows kitesurfing in the Isole dello Stagnone reserve, a short stretch of coast according to the map. In the same ordinance the authority writes that the number of users in the reserve is growing, and because the water along the coast is shallow, here too you walk the first 100 metres before you get on the board. The shore faces west-north-west, so north-west is onshore and west and north come in side-on, while south-west and north-east blow cross-shore and south and east are side-off. In a south-easterly you are blown out into the lagoon and Windulu gives a no-go, because it treats the lagoon as open water. Tide plays no part. Trapani Birgi airport is 6.6 kilometres to the north and reports once an hour, so read the live data as an indication.
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 (Sud) faces WNW (303°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast, east, south and southwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
