Central and South Italy in the guides

• 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.
• Mediterranean storm surf
  Crowded rock reefs near Rome, Sicily, and on the Adriatic short bora swells at spots such as Portonovo.
