Backdoor Surf Guide

Backdoor in Sicily is an exposed reef break that only works when conditions are just right. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Works best in offshore winds from the north northwest. There is too little fetch for groundswells to form and the best wave direction is from the south southeast. There is no reef break. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Rarely crowded here. Watch out for rocks.
