Edit SpotAbout
This spot should put Sicily on the map. This wave reminds me of a faster more hollow Trestles. The only downfall to this spot is you really need the right conditions to see the true potential of it.
Atmosphere:
I am an American but have lived here for over two years. There is a small and thriving community of surfers in Sicily and it is growing more each day. The locals will take and embrace you here, just be respectful and you might make some great friends in the process!
Additional Info:
This spot holds a right and a left but the right is much longer. The rocks are a real pain on your feet so wear booties if you've got them. You can see your car from this spot just be carful what you leave in it. The Med. has basicly no tides.
