Paestum

Paestum is a WSW-facing beach break in Salerno, Campania, Italy. It picks up swell from SW to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 92% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
