The Spot
The Wind At Porto Pollo
Sardinia has four winds depending on the time of year. The Spring brings the Tramontana from North to East with 6 - 8 Beaufort. In the Summer the Poniente is South-west bringing 4-8 Beaufort, and in the Autumn the Scirocco from North Africa with 5-6 Beaufort, and occasionally up to Force 9.
Porto Pollo is located in the windiest point in Sardinia. The proximity to Corsica creates a funnel effect which brings winds that blow up to 8 Beauforts and over. Due to the structure of the two bays you can choose to surf in the protected safe conditions or risk the adventure of sailing in the channel where the waves crest as tall as a rig.
Other Activities In And Around Porto Pollo
Sardinia is a stunning island and you must spare some time to see some of the amazing scenery, all within a few hours drive of Porto Pollo.
Boat trips to the Magdalena Islands are operated from the nearby town of Palau, and this is an experience not to be missed. This breathtaking archipelago has numerous hidden coves with aqua-blue waters and luscious mediterranean vegetation. La Maddalena is world-renowned for its natural beauty, history and culture.
Diving is very popular in Sardinia, due to the clear waters and rich marine life such as friendly dolphins and several kinds of fish. There are dive centres in Porto Pollo and Palau.
Sailing is also very popular, and the windsurf centre has several types of small catamarans for rent from Lasers to the Hobie Cat 15. They offer a 4 Hour beginner course and private lessons for all levels.
Local equestrian centres offer half day trail rides with a stop for swimming, or scenic evening rides to watch the sunset.
