Artiglieria, Italy, offers surfable conditions year-round, though the best months for consistent, quality waves are from November through February. During this period, ground swell frequency increases (peaking at 22-23%), and mean swell size reaches its highest (1.3-1.4m), providing more powerful and clean waves. Wind conditions remain challenging with a high percentage of onshore winds (88% bad wind days), but winter months still deliver the most favorable swell mix—ground and wind swell combined exceed 60% probability from November to February. Spring and autumn (March-April, September-October) bring moderate conditions with smaller swells (1.0-1.2m) and slightly better wind chances, though still dominated by unfavorable winds. Summer (May-August) is the least reliable, with very low ground swell (3-8%), weak waves (0.7-0.8m), and the worst wind conditions (over 90% bad wind days). For dedicated surfers, winter is the prime season despite the tricky winds, while shoulder months offer occasional sessions with smaller, less consistent waves. Beginners may find summer too flat, while experienced surfers should target late autumn to early winter for the best combo of swell size and frequency.
