Sa Mesa Longa surf guide

Sa Mesa Longa is located on the exposed side of the Capo Mannu peninsula, just further north from Mandriola. This spot is known for its beautiful A-frame wave that breaks over a shallow rock bottom outside the lagoon. It's a popular choice for surfers looking to tackle something a bit more challenging, but be prepared for a crowd and some attitude in the line-up.

This surf spot works best with swells coming from the Northwest, but you can also catch waves from the Southwest. It can handle swell sizes starting from 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), making it a decent option for intermediate surfers. The waves break both left and right, providing some variety. Make sure not to go out when there's onshore wind, as it can ruin the conditions. The optimal times to surf are during low to mid or even high tide, with southeast winds being ideal. Use the channel on the left of the little island to paddle out to the line-up.

Keep in mind, the water can sometimes have urchins, so watch your step when you're in the water. It can get pretty crowded, so be ready to share the waves with others. Overall, Sa Mesa Longa is a solid spot but make sure you're comfortable with intermediate-level surfing to enjoy it fully.
