Palinuro

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