Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Mythical red cove, waves on E storm.
Surf windows in autumn-winter during big western swells or Mediterranean storms.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Cala Rossa is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Cala Rossa comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Cala Rossa, you can also check conditions at Pinarello, Palombaggia, La Tonnara. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
