About Porto Paglia
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (292°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (112°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 35). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. 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 Gonnesa, 4.1 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 2 wind sports spots and 1 climbing area.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
