Pontile is a surf spot located near the local pier in Lignano. It's an accessible spot that can be reached easily by following signs to “Pineta.” The atmosphere is typically relaxed, and it tends to be less crowded than other spots in the area. This makes it a decent choice for surfers looking for a chill session without too many people around.
The surf at Pontile offers both rights and lefts on a sand bottom, making it suitable for various skill levels, especially beginners. It works best with southeast (SE) and southwest (SW) swells, handling swell sizes around 2 feet (0.6 meters). The waves generally break as beach breaks and are affected by the tide, working well during low, mid, and high tides. For the best conditions, you'll want a west wind, as onshore winds can make it less enjoyable.
Overall, Pontile is a solid spot for new surfers to get familiar with riding waves, especially when conditions align. Just remember to check the wind direction before heading out, and you might find some fun waves waiting for you.
