About Bassa Trinita

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces NW (304°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (124°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 7). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is La Maddalena, 3.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 wind sports spots.

Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
