Baie d’Italy surf guide

Baie d’Italy is a little-known surf spot located about a 4-hour 4x4 drive through the mountains west of Fort Dauphin. This beach break offers a more forgiving experience for intermediate surfers when compared to similar spots like Vinanibe. The charm of Baie d’Italy lies in its wandering sandbanks, which can create some nice peaks for those looking to catch a wave. One thing to keep in mind is that it's best to head out with a guide and all your provisions, as it's a pretty remote surfing destination.

The optimal swell direction here is from the SouthWest, but it can also handle swells coming from the SouthEast. It works well with swell sizes starting from 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), making it accessible for those who aren't chasing massive waves. The waves here break over sand, providing a beach setup that's friendly for less experienced surfers. You'll find both left and right-breaking waves, perfect for an enjoyable session. The best wind direction is from the NorthEast, and you can hit this spot during low, mid, or high tide, giving you plenty of opportunities to find the right conditions.

If you're planning a trip, make sure you are comfortable in the water as the spot is generally best for intermediate surfers. The remote nature of Baie d’Italy means you won’t have as many crowds, which is a plus if you want to enjoy your surf without the hustle and bustle. Just make sure to respect the wild environment and have a good time!
