GAETA - ITALY

- Luca and bs -

Last Friday night for the second time in two weeks the forecast said that a strong wind from SE was coming and was ready to generate a good swell.

I studied the maps with Luca a few days before. The swell was consistent but the wind blowed strong especially along the north coast of  Rome. We decided toghether that was better follow the direction to the south of Italy, where two weeks ago we found great conditions for surfing.  

Not far from Sperlonga we drove 5 km more to the south and after passed two tunnels we was finally on the long beach enclosed between two big mountains that it calls Gaeta.

There are three different place where you can surfing on this beach, two of them are close to the rocks located at the ends of the bay where the bottom is very shallow. There are also some peaks in the center of the bay where the bottom is sandy, anyway the quality of the water is great.

SPERLONGA - ITALY

Hey guys I had a great days with some friends not far from Gaeta.

I want to talk about this part of the coast located in the south of Rome, because it offers great beaches and point breaks for surfing. It recives swell from S and SW and with the wind from N and NE you can ride some very good waves.

From the center of Rome we drove by car for 200 km to the south and we followed the Pontina street until Sperlonga.

The 5th January Luca called me and he said, 'Diego let's go to Gaeta, down there tomorrow there will be 2 meters!'

I just called some other friends and the morning of the 6th January 2014 the crew was ready for the first surf trip of 2014.

Luca and Sara (photographer), Alberto, Natalia, Anna and Bs, two cars, 4 surfboards, one camera.

We arrived in Sperlonga around 11 am, the day was sunny and the temperature outside was 16°, After the small village of Sperlonga we had the first sight of the ocean. Luca was the first to say 'Diego there are good waves, I told you yestarday yeahhhhhhhhhhh!, he was very excited and make me very happy. Also other girls from Russia enjoyed the aloha spirit that he spread out.

We checked the first beach were waves were quite big and clean, the water was green and it wasn't too crowded. After a fast briefing we decided to go more to the south for 20 km along the coast until the first beach of Gaeta. This spot calls Serapo, but unfortunatly the bay didn't work very good with the wind from N, so we drove back to the first beach break in Sperlonga. In the car I felt good vibes from the guys, everybody was ready for a great surf session!
