The Northern Garda Lake is a world wide famous windsurf and sailing spot. And it deserves this fame, because of the intensity and frequency of very good windy days, but also for the superbe landscape, you can enjoy both while surfing in the water, and while relaxing on the ground. 

Windsurf spot reviews: Torbole (Garda Lake)

The spot works mainly with a thermal wind, the so called "Ora", which blows from the South, and from March to October, and from 12-13 o'clock up to late afternoon, during sunny days.

Infact, it rises beacuse of the pressure difference between air on the lake (colder and havier) and the air above the mountains and valleys at the North of the lake (warmer and lighter). So the cold air moves towards North to take place of warm air, which rises high in the sky.

In good days, the "Ora" can reach about 20 knots, with a pretty good chop of one meter. If you have low pressure, or too much cloudy skies above mountains, the "Ora" doesn't blow, because air, there, doesn't become enough warm.
