Forecast for Tuesday 1 September
Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Sheltered Nebbio beach. Rare waves.
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.
L'Île-Rousse 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 L'Île-Rousse comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around L'Île-Rousse, you can also check conditions at Algajola, Lumio, Calvi. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
