No-Wind Activities for Kiters in Sicily During High Season (July–August)

Sicily is a kitesurf paradise — but what happens when the wind takes a break? Don’t worry! There are plenty of no-wind activities for kiters in Sicily, especially during the hot summer months of July and August, when thermals can be less consistent. Here’s how to make the most of your stay even when the wind doesn’t blow.

1. Explore Marsala and Trapani
Lo Stagnone is just minutes away from Marsala, a charming coastal town known for its wine, local markets, and historic center. Stroll through old streets, taste Sicilian sweets, or take a Marsala wine tour. Trapani, about 40 minutes away, offers more lively nightlife, beautiful architecture, and delicious street food.

2. Visit the Egadi Islands
On no-wind days, take a boat trip to the Egadi Islands – Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo. These islands are perfect for snorkeling, diving, and cycling. Crystal-clear water and untouched nature make it a true escape from the kite scene.

3. Go for a Stand-Up Paddle or Wing-Skate Session
Even without wind, the flat water of Lo Stagnone is perfect for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It’s a great workout and a relaxing way to explore the lagoon. Some schools also offer wing skating on longboards – a fun, windless land alternative for kiters.

4. Enjoy Local Food and Sunset Aperitivo
Sicily is a food lover’s dream. Try arancini, fresh seafood, and homemade granita. In the evening, enjoy a sunset aperitivo at one of the lagoon-side bars while watching the sky explode in color over the salt flats.

5. Cultural Day Trips
No-wind days are perfect for discovering Sicilian culture. Visit the ancient ruins of Segesta, climb the medieval streets of Erice, or soak in the views from Monte Cofano Nature Reserve. All are within a short drive from Lo Stagnone.

Final Tip
Even during July and August, light-wind sessions are possible with bigger kites or foils. But if it’s completely calm, use the downtime to explore Sicily’s natural beauty, culture, and hidden gems.

No wind? No problem. Sicily always delivers.
