About the spot

Tonnarella is Mazara del Vallo's urban sea spot. The Circoletto section is described for Sirocco sessions; westerlies and frontal weather can also bring waves. Access differs from the natural coastline at Capo Feto.

The local operator describes the bay as closed to kitesurfing in summer. A broad sandy beach therefore does not establish summer launch permission. Outside that period, beach use, surf and wind angle remain decisive. Rocks and coastal structures at the bay's edges require locally informed entry and return planning.
