While you won’t find massive waves, you might catch some action when the conditions align, particularly during stormy NE swells. The vibe is laid-back, making it a good place for both newbies and those just wanting to enjoy the water.

The optimal swell direction for Mellieha is from the NorthEast, with other favorable directions being North and NorthEast as well. You'll typically see swell sizes around 1 ft (0.3 m), and the waves can break over sand. Most of the waves here are beach breaks, with options to ride both left and right.
