Quinto al Mare

Quinto al Mare is an S-facing reef break in Genoa, Liguria, Italy. It picks up swell from SSE and S to SW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 77% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
