Rena Majore

Rena Majore is a surf spot in northern Sardinia, Italy — not Sicily. It sits on the island’s north coast, near Aglientu, in a scenic area of sandy beaches and granite coastline.

Spot description

• Type: Sandy beach break
• Wave quality: Can be fun and punchy, especially on the right swell
• Best swell direction: Usually works best with NW to N/NW swells
• Wind: Offshore winds are often from the south to southeast, depending on the day
• Crowd: Can be relatively quiet compared with more famous Sardinian spots
• Level: Suitable for beginners to intermediates in smaller conditions, but can become more powerful when surf is bigger

What to expect

Rena Majore generally offers a shifting beach break, so sandbars change with storms and seasons. On smaller days it may be mellow and friendly, while in larger winter swells it can produce faster, steeper sections.

Best time to surf

• Autumn and winter are usually the best surf seasons in Sardinia
