About Surf spot near Marina di Pisa
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (262°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (82°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.8 km out (1 in 182). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February, November and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Marina di Pisa, 3.9 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
