Il Porto in Italy is a spot with fairly inconsistent surf conditions throughout the year, but the best months for surfing generally fall between November and March. During this period, ground swell frequencies increase, peaking in December and January, with mean swell sizes around 1.2–1.3m. These months also see slightly higher percentages of ground swells (18–23%) compared to the rest of the year. However, wind conditions are generally poor, with bad wind conditions (onshore or cross-shore winds) occurring 90–91% of the time, making clean surf sessions relatively rare. From April to October, swell consistency drops significantly, with ground swells becoming minimal (3–14%) and swell size decreasing to 0.7–1.0m. Summer months (June–August) are particularly weak, with the highest probability of no swell (55–57%) and small, wind-driven swells. While the spot occasionally works in autumn (September–October) as ground swells begin to reappear, wind conditions remain unfavorable. Overall, winter offers the best chance for surfable waves, but surfers should be prepared for frequent poor wind conditions and lower consistency compared to more exposed Mediterranean or Atlantic breaks. Patience and luck with wind windows are key for scoring good sessions at Il Porto.
