Bonassola

Bonassola is an SSW-facing reef break in La Spezia, Liguria, Italy. It picks up swell from S and SSW to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 79% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNE: light winds or NNE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSW onshores chop it up.
