Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Windulu places Torre San Giovanni on the long sandy beach south-east of the harbour, because the Gallipoli maritime authority prohibits kitesurfing near the harbour. From 1 May to 30 September you may only go out on the water through a permitted corridor, and because Windulu knows of none here, the spot is closed during that period, while outside it the rules require no corridor. The beach faces south-west, so south-west is onshore and south and west come in side-on, while south-east and north-west blow cross-shore along the coast and east and north already come side-off the land. In a north-easterly the wind is straight offshore and Windulu gives a no-go. Tide hardly plays a part in the Mediterranean, and Windulu does not show live data here, because the nearest reporting station, at Lecce airport, is almost 40 kilometres away.
From 1 May to 30 September inclusive, go out on the water only through a permitted kite corridor; Windulu knows of no corridor here and closes the spot during that period. During the regional bathing season (2026: 23 May to 13 September) also not within 400 m of the beach. All year, not at night, no further than 1 nautical mile out and not near the harbour; kitesurfing from age 16 with a buoyancy aid. Source: Capitaneria di porto di Gallipoli, ord. 57/2026 art. 2 and 4 and ord. 72/2025 art. 18 to 21.
The open water at Torre San Giovanni faces SW (220°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are south, southwest and west (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, east, southeast and northwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the northeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
