Il Castello is located right next to the historic castle in Santa Severa, just a bit north of Rome. This spot attracts mainly longboarders due to its average beachbreak conditions. It’s a laid-back place where surfers can enjoy the waves without the heavy crowds found at other spots.

The best time to surf at Il Castello is when there’s a Southeast swell, ideally up to around 1.5 meters (5ft). The waves break over sand and you can expect both left and right rides, making it a bit flexible for different surfers. It works well with low to high tides and the preferable wind direction is Northeast. This spot is suitable for beginners, as the waves aren’t too aggressive, and you can catch some fun rides.

Since it’s a beachbreak, the vibe here is pretty chill, and it’s great for those starting out or just looking for a relaxing surf session. Just keep an eye on the swell size, as it can handle smaller waves, but it’s best to surf when conditions are ideal for a more enjoyable day on the water.
