No wind
“Go”: a rideable window long enough to count. “Marginal”: it might work, not for long enough to promise. “No wind”: nothing rideable today. “Not yet”: too far out, or the models still disagree. Drawn as an outline, never a colour. The small line underneath says where the number comes from: which models, whether they are corrected against wind measured at this spot, and whether what you see was measured or forecast.

Bora tops out at 6 kn. Nothing rideable today.

Hour by hour
Each bar is one hour's forecast, coloured by your range: solid inside it, amber just short or gusty, muted outside. On a day nothing reaches your range, nothing takes a colour: there is data, and it is honestly short. Gusty hours are demoted: when the jump between mean and gust is big, an in-range hour shows amber. Here the spread, not the average, decides the day.

05:0013:0020:00

Peak 6 kn at 13:00. Nothing reaches your range today, so the strip stays uncoloured: there is data, and it is honestly short.

Why not
Two questions, answered separately: is the thermal setting up (the label), and does it build far enough for your minimum (the fill)? It can honestly set up and still stop short; then the gauge turns amber and the sentence names the gap.

The curve is today's water level; the marker is now. The times are the next high and low water. Tide gets a card here because it genuinely changes the session at this spot; where it doesn't, no card is shown.

The northern Adriatic has the largest tidal range in the Mediterranean. At low water the bank in front of the diga comes up and the flat water shrinks.

Local knowledge

Never cross the head of the diga: that is the port channel and the fishing fleet has right of way.

Submerged rocks off the heads of both outer breakwaters - stay 200 m clear.

About riding SottomarinaSottomarina is the Adriatic beach south of the Venice lagoon, and the spot is la diga…

Sottomarina is the Adriatic beach south of the Venice lagoon, and the spot is la diga: you launch against the breakwater that shelters the entrance channel to the port of Chioggia, at the north end of the lungomare. A wide, soft-sand beach with a marked kite area run by the local association, flat water under the breakwater and building chop as you move east, up to head-high in a strong northeasterly.
