San Vito Lo Capo

San Vito Lo Capo is an NNW-facing reef break in Trapani, Sicily, Italy. It picks up swell from W to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 89% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSE: light winds or SSE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNW onshores chop it up.
