About Venezia

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

The spot faces SW (212°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (32°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 950 m out (1 in 94). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 14°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Fiumicino, 6.9 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.

Water about 20°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).
