Santa Caterina Surf Guide

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