SURFING SPOTS 
Sardinia can still be considered a true surfers paradise. Its emerald green sea, deserted golden beaches and its relative isolation mean that surfers can discover for themselves that unique place with that unique wave that they can truly call their own.
The following list is merely an introduction, an idea of some of the beaches that we have surfed. These are the better known beaches but there is so much more to discover.
From Cagliari, following the coast in a clockwise direction there is:
- Su Poettu (CA)
Where the Cagliaritani hang out. This is a sandy beach with numerous A-frame gaffs, the most frequented of which is parallel to the TWIST bar.
It’s good with E, S-E, S sea storm and sometimes N-E or S-W. Easy waves: 2.5 mt. maximum.
- Chia (CA) (Pontile, Il Morto, Cala Cipolla, Pipeline, L’Isolotto).
50 km from Cagliari, taking the SS 195
Good when there is strong N-E winds or strong W winds. Fast turbulent waves. Crystal clear water, sand dunes, a dream setting. Max. 3 m.
- Porto Pino (CA)
On the SS195, turn left after 14 km
West wind sometimes strong, beach break.
- Sant’Antioco (CA).
It can be reached by Cagliari taking the SS130 to Iglesias, from where you take the SS126 to Carbonia, which will lead you to Sant’Antioco.
On the southern most point of the island there is Turri. Excellent when there is strong wind. Long and often rapid turbulent waves. To the north of the island there is Maresciallo, in the area of Calasetta. Difficult and can be dangerous, but offers rapid starts (to the right). Ideal with W, N-W, wave max. 4 m.
- Guroneddu (CA).
Hard to reach, it takes a long walk from the panoramic road from Portopaglia to Portoscuso
Indonesian quality, left with a turbo start that will have your heart in your mouth. Good when there is no west wind, or with no wind at all. Difficult to reach. You must walk a long distance on the panoramic road from Portopaglia to Portoscuso. Maximum high: they seem smaller then they really are, up to 3 m.
- Funtanamare (CA)
The golden beach and sand of the Iglesiente, located 10 km west of Iglesias.
A-frames of good quality. It is a reference point for those who want to go surfing in the area of Iglesiente. Beach break, good with light winds up to 2 m.
- Masua (CA)
8 km from Funtanamare, after Nebida
Unbelievably beautiful scenery, arguably the most beautiful in Sardinia. Good with W. Wind. Possibly the only place to go if there are strong Mistral winds. Different crests some hidden behind the inlet. Best waves from left to right, short but very fast. Maximum height: reports of up to 4 m. violent.
- Buggerru (CA)
small mining village in the Iglesias area.
Offers many places to surf: il Porto, il Grottino, San Nicolao, Portixeddu. Even with Minstral winds it is possible to surf. The EPSA (European Professional Surfing Association) has held competitions in this area. In Porto it is possible to surf waves over 3 m. It is easy to surf here thanks to the strong current which runs along the quay towards the open sea. Excellent when there is not Minstral winds.

Beautiful sandy beach 35 Km from Cagliari.
Excellent waves which break on the beach when there is a strong east or west wind. When there is a east or grecale wind, force 6/7, on the left near the headland there are very good, fast and turbolent waves. Be careful not to damage your board as the waves are not very high.

This beautiful beach can be seen from the coast road. Good surfing when there is a strong NE-E wind. Sandy sea bed.
- Racca Point (Ca)
From Cagliari to Villasimius. Turn right in Via Nettuno, after you pass Is Mortorius, in front of the camping.
One of the most beautiful places in Sardinia. Best when the wind is NE-E force 6/7 and Poetto is not surfable. Very long waves which start in front of the rocky headland and enter the small bay. Max. 2.5 m, rarely higher.
- Baia Azzurra (Ca)

Excellent for beginners when Racca Point is crowded. Excellent when there is NE-E force 6/7.
- Marina di Capitana (Ca)
At the end of Poetto beach turn right and follow the road for Villasimius, turn right to reach Marina di Capitana.
When conditions at Racca Point are good Marina di Capitana offers stupendious waves which are generally slightly smaller than Racca Point. The waves from the reefs along a headland are so long that it is better to walk back out to the headland than to swim out. Excellent spot to learn or practice the Cut Back technique. When the waves are over 1 and ½ m. there is a strong current that makes reaching the crest difficult.
