Le Saline is home for us: a wide sandy bay a few minutes outside Olbia where we run every kitesurf, wing foil and SUP lesson. We watch this beach every day, so here is the honest picture.
Where it is
The beach sits near Via Isola Padron Fiaso, between Olbia and Murta Maria. Airport, ferry port, town, restaurants and accommodation are all close by, which makes it as good for a short course as for a full wind holiday. Travel details are in how to get to Le Saline.
Why it works for learning
The local thermal scirocco. On sunny, stable days it blows side-on: across the beach, with a small push back toward shore. If something goes wrong during a body drag or a water start, that direction tends to carry you back toward the beach. Offshore wind does the opposite, which is why we care so much about it.
You enter straight from sand, with no rocks in the teaching area. The water does get deep quickly. We won’t pretend it’s a shallow lagoon; we teach with boat support instead, so you get real sea, enough space and an instructor close to you.
What you can do here
Kitesurf lessons run from kite control to body drag, water start and first rides. Wing foil starts with wing handling and balance before the foil comes into play. On windless or light days, SUP keeps you on the water.
When to come
Late spring to early autumn is the reliable thermal season. May through September all work, with different trade-offs between wind, crowds and temperature. The month-by-month view is in when to kitesurf in Olbia.
