Santa Lucia surf guide

Santa Lucia is a surf spot located at the east end of the Cefalù promenade, right below the cliff. It’s a nice little spot that can offer some fun waves for those looking to get their surf on. While it may not be the most famous spot around, it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and want to avoid the crowds.

The surf here typically favors steep, fast lefts, especially when the North swells roll in. You can find good waves breaking over a rock ledge, with the preferred swell direction being Northwest. It handles swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters), making it accessible for those with some experience. Intermediate surfers will find it to be a suitable challenge. Winds from the Southeast work best for this spot, and it can handle various tide heights—low, mid, or high—so you can choose the time that suits you best.

If you’re keen on exploring further, there are several other surf spots just down the coast that you could check out after hitting Santa Lucia. It can be a chill day with options close by, giving you the chance to mix it up if the waves here aren’t firing.
