Li Putzi

Li Putzi is an exposed reef break near Isola Rossa on the Sardinian coast, producing consistent left-hand waves when northwest swells combine with offshore winds (best wind direction reported as southeast). Surf is described as having good overall consistency, even though summer sessions are often mostly flat. The break sits over a rocky reef with submerged and exposed rocks, shallow reef sections, and urchins. Providers emphasize that the spot is best suited to experienced surfers due to the combination of difficult navigation/entry and the potential for strong currents with larger northwest swells. Conditions can become heavy and challenging on bigger swell. Wind is reported around 10–20 knots with low reliability and moderate gustiness, and wind/turbulence can be affected by nearby cliffs. The spot is described as exposed overall, with southeast winds producing clean offshore conditions. For seasons, the best surfing conditions are reported for the autumn and winter swell window (with best months spanning October through March). Water temperatures range from about 13°C in winter to about 26°C in summer, and the wetsuit guidance centers on using a spring/warmer-month suit (or shorty for brief warm sessions), while winter typically calls for thicker coverage and often boots for protection around the reef.
