Italy in the guides

  • Surfing in January
    January is the heart of the Atlantic storm season. Thick wetsuits in the north, warm water in the Canaries, and powerful swells that wake up Nazaré, Mundaka, Thurso East and the island reefs.
  • Surfing in February
    February has the coldest water of the year in the north, but the days are getting longer and a cold high-pressure spell can bring offshore winds and long-period swell. Hossegor's legendary 2021 run happened in February, and the islands to the south are in full season.
  • Surfing in March
    March is one of the most underrated months: winter-sized swells start to calm down, the days get long, and the line-ups are still empty from Brittany to Scotland. The water, though, is as cold as it gets, unless you head for the islands.
  • Surfing in December
    Winter storms in the Mediterranean send south-west swell to Liguria, where Varazze's reef is the best-known wave.
  • Mediterranean storm surf
    The Ligurian Riviera and Tuscany, where libeccio storms light up reefs such as Varazze and Lillatro from late autumn to early spring.
