Vasto is a surf spot located beside the harbour, known for its few peaks that mainly produce left-handers. The best conditions are found with north to northeast swells. However, the spot isn't very consistent, especially when there are onshore winds, which can ruin the fun. It’s not a place for heavy crowds, so you can enjoy the waves in a more laid-back atmosphere.
The optimal swell direction for Vasto is northeast, and it can handle swells up to about 2 feet (0.6 meters). The waves break over sand, and you can expect them to go right as you ride. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tides. While the spot works for beginners, it’s essential to keep an eye on the wind, as the preferable direction is from the southwest. This can help make your surf session more enjoyable.
