Isola delle Femmine is a surf spot located just outside of Palermo, Sicily. It’s known for being one of the more consistent surf locations in the area. The spot sits in a big bay, which can catch various swells, making it a go-to for local surfers. It’s easily accessible by following the signs from the Palermo-Trapani highway, so you won't have any trouble finding it.

The best time to catch some waves is when there are NW swells, as those are optimal for Isola. The waves usually break over sand, with both lefts and rights available, making it suitable for different riding preferences. It handles swell sizes starting from around 2 ft (approximately 0.6 meters) and can work well across low, mid, and high tides. If you're a beginner, this spot can be a good place to practice, as the waves can offer fun rides without being overly aggressive, especially when the wind comes from the southeast.

While you might find it crowded, especially on good days, it's worth keeping an eye on the conditions. If Isola is messy, you might want to check out nearby spots like Mondello or Magaggiari. This flexibility can help you find cleaner waves if the conditions aren’t in your favor at Isola delle Femmine.
