Santa Caterina Surf Guide

Santa Caterina in Sardinia is an exposed beach break that has reasonably consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds are from the east with some shelter here from north winds. Windswells are much more common than groundswells and the ideal wave direction is from the northwest. The beach break provides left and right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. A remote wave spot that never gets crowded. Submerged rocks are a hazard.
