Sant Elmo Surf Guide

Sant Elmo in Sardinia is an exposed beach break that has fairly consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds are from the west northwest with some shelter here from north winds. Most of the surf comes fis in the form of windswells and the best wave direction is from the southeast. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Even when the surf is up, crowds are unknown. Beware of rocks, urchins.
