About Pegli
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (197°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (17°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 2–7 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 17). 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 July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Genova, 9.9 km away (about 20 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 climbing area.
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).
