Overview
Medina is a left-hand point that breaks over a sand bottom, making it one of Tunisia's more shapely setups for a surf on the day it lines up.
When It Works
The point draws swell from northeast through southeast (NE-SE), with an east (E) swell the best match for clean lefts. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 1.2 m / 4 ft, so you want a bit of push in the water without it getting oversized.
Wind and Tide
Look for a northwest (NW) offshore wind to hold the wall clean. Medina can break across low, mid, and high tide, but a rising tide is generally the better call.
Local Tips
The wave suits intermediate surfers, so it's a comfortable point to work on longer lefts without needing an expert-only skill set. If an east-southeast (E-SE) swell fills in, it's worth driving down the east coast to Hammamet: La Medine turns on long, sweeping lefts, and Nhoza Beach tends to serve up more consistent peaks. With time to spare in the area, the reefs at Sousse and Monastir are also worth a look.
