Beaches of the Gulf of Sagone
All beaches (Sevani beach, Rose beach and Capo di Feno beach) are a bit exposed so it has good conditions for surfing. At first look it seems to be a bit wild area. Capo di Feno is an exposed reef break that has pretty consitent surf. Autumn and winter are the best times of year for waves. Works best in offshore winds from the east. Windswells are much more typical than groudswells and the ideal wave direction is from the southwest. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded.
The beach is divided into two by a field: the "Grand Capo" is the larger, more visited beach, while Sevani beach, also known as the "Petit Capo", is smaller, but very pleasant and quite quiet. This region often has large waves, which is why close attention needs to be paid to the warning flag on the beach.
