Capo Mannu

Sardinia, Italy
🪸Sharp reef🪨Rocks

Capo Mannu is arguably the best wave in the Mediterranean—a series of reef and point breaks on Sardinia's wild west coast that come alive when mistral storms blow from the northwest. The setup offers multiple options: hollow reefs, workable points, and occasional barrels. Summer is flat, but autumn through spring delivers surprisingly powerful swells. The Italian surf scene is small but dedicated, and Capo Mannu is its crown jewel. Mediterranean surfing's hidden treasure.
