About the spot

San Foca is a windy Adriatic spot with a narrow beach and patches of rocky bottom. The local guide describes northerly through easterly winds, with chop or waves according to weather. Acceleration around the Otranto channel can make conditions stronger than expected.

The area suits confident progressing and experienced riders. Limited launching room and submerged rocks make it unsuitable for teaching yourself. These obstacles remain even when summer water looks smoother. Confirm the exact sports section and separation from swimmers before rigging.
