Arenzano is a surf spot located on the Italian Riviera, known for its right-hand point break. It requires a solid southwest swell to really get going, making the conditions a bit hit or miss depending on the surf forecasts. The beach setting is quaint, and the line-up can be accessed easily between the second and third piers, right from the sand.
The wave typically works best with swells coming from the southwest, but it can also handle smaller swells from the south and west. It can break over both rock ledges and sand, offering a decent variety in wave faces. Surfable conditions usually start around 3 feet (about 1 meter) and go up from there. Intermediate surfers will find this spot enjoyable, especially with the right north wind blowing. The tide can vary with low, mid, and high tides all being surfable, but scouting the conditions is key for the best session.
For those planning to surf here, it’s good to keep in mind that the local surf community is pretty laid-back. Always pay attention to the local vibes and be respectful in the line-up. The spot can offer a good time but also requires some patience, especially when waiting for the ideal swell.
