Located on the western coast, Capo Mannu forms a geographic corridor fully exposed to incoming Mistral winds. Lacking mountain barriers to the northwest, winds accelerate across open waters, regularly reaching speeds over 100 km/h during winter storms. This wind force generates massive, powerful waves rare for the Mediterranean Sea. This natural phenomenon has made Capo Mannu a top European destination for wave surfing, challenging the traditional image of Sardinia as a placid, calm sea destination.
