In spring, especially in the months from late March to mid-June, the first thermal winds from the northwest begin and the weather begins to give warm sunny days and very few if any rainy days. 

The predominant winds at Punta Trettu during this period are the Mistral, which is made more intense by the thermal and venturi effect (between 5 and 10 knots stronger than forecast), and the Sirocco, which enters the bay tense also enjoying the thermal effect created between the island of Sant’Antioco and the main island of Sardinia. 

In this season the prices of means of connection with Sardinia and sleeping accommodations are very competitive and we will have the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Sardinia without the risk of finding beaches or other places very crowded. 

The water and air temperature is extremely pleasant during this period and one can kitesurf in Punta Trettu using a 3/2 mm wetsuit without any problem while the outside temperature will fluctuate between 22 and 30 degrees during the day.

This will make the color contrasts between land and sea even more beautiful and unforgettable.
