About Rosignano ( LI )
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (233°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (53°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 25). 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 July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Rosignano Solvay, 1.1 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 1 mountain bike area.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
