The spot
Level
beginner to advanced
Water
flat + waves
Wind
Four winds shape the spot: Scirocco (south-east, side-shore) keeps the sea flat until late afternoon; Tramontana (north, offshore) is gusty and flattens the water; Libeccio (south-west, onshore) can build swell up to 4-5 metres; and Ponente (west, side-onshore around 45 degrees), the dominant thermal wind, blows on about 90% of summer days and can reach 20+ knots once the thermal effect kicks in.
Wind direction
side shore, offshore, onshore, side onshore
Waves
Wave size depends on wind direction, from flat water in Tramontana and Scirocco conditions to short wind swell in Ponente and Libeccio, occasionally building to 4-5 metre storms in Libeccio. Montalto Marina gets clean 2-3 bottom-turn waves during groundswells and is a winter destination for kiters and windsurfers chasing waves.
