Forte Dei Marmi - Pontile is a popular surf spot located in the trendy town of Forte Dei Marmi, Italy. It draws a lot of surfers, especially from Northern Italy, thanks to its consistent waves. The pier, which is the focal point of the beach, offers easy access to the water. However, be prepared for a crowded environment, as many people come here to enjoy the surf, sun, and beach vibe.

The waves here work best with a southwest swell, although it can also handle northwest swells. The ideal swell size is around 2 feet (0.6 meters) or bigger. You're likely to find both left and right breaks over sand banks situated on either side of the pier. Winds from the northeast can create nice conditions for surfing. You can catch decent waves during low, mid, and high tides, but the quality can be a bit hit-or-miss. Overall, this spot is better suited for intermediate surfers due to its challenges and the unpredictable nature of the waves.

If you're looking to take lessons or improve your skills, there are surf schools around, like Tzunami, which can help you get started or sharpen your technique. Just keep in mind that the spot can get busy, and you may need to navigate some currents. Make sure to pay attention to what’s going on in the water before paddling out.
