Il Moletto surf guide

Il Moletto is a popular surf spot located in the Mondello area, close to the city of Palermo. It offers a laid-back vibe and is favored by local surfers. The spot is easily accessible from the jetty, making it a convenient choice for surfers looking to catch some waves without too much hassle.

The surf at Il Moletto is mainly a right-hander that breaks off the western tip of the bay. It works best with northwest swells but can handle waves from the west and north as well. The spot is suitable for beginners, as it can handle swell sizes around 2ft (0.6m) and offers a sectiony ride that's perfect for those still learning the ropes. It's best to surf at low, mid, or high tide, and the ideal wind direction is also from the northwest, which makes for more favorable conditions.

This area attracts a good number of surfers, so be prepared for some crowding, especially on popular surf days. If you're in the city and want to catch some waves, Il Moletto is a solid option to check out.
