LAKE GARDA

THE WIND MACHINE

THE SPOT IN TORBOLE

PELER & ORA AT LAKE GARDA

Lake Garda aka the wind machine is known for its prime watersports conditions. In the northern part of the lake, in Garda Trentino, windsurfers and wing foilers find their paradise, as the wind is at its strongest here. To accommodate the bustling water traffic, the lake has been divided into several areas. While windsurfers and wing foilers have the freedom to explore the entire northern section, kiters have a designated area further south, near Malcesine and Limone, accessible via our convenient boat shuttle service.

Temperature & recommended wetsuit thickness

At our center, safety is paramount; we require all our clients to be proficient swimmers (very deep water). The water temperature ranges from a refreshing 4°C in spring to a comfortable 21°C in summer. During spring and fall, we recommend a 4/3 wetsuit for your comfort. On warm summer days, a shorty or swimsuit will suffice for an enjoyable experience.

wind conditions 

On days with consistent wind, mornings are perfect for serene, flat water sessions with the "Peler" blowing from the North. Afternoons offer an exciting bump and jump session, thanks to the "Ora" wind from the south. The wind's strength can vary depending on your location on Lake Garda. We run our lesson and shuttle schedules according to the wind and typically meet at 7:30 am and 1 pm.

Season

We are open from March to November. The best time to visit us is from April until October as the water and outside temperature are very pleasant and the wind is most consistent during these months.
