Tunisia - Winter Waves in the Mediterranean Sea

Despite being much smaller than an ocean and often underestimated by surfers worldwide, the Mediterranean Sea can provide high-quality waves in season, mainly winter from October to March.

The problem for many surfers in the Med is - they are on the wrong side. With prevailing winds from the northwest to the southeast, most of the wave energy is headed for the North African side of the Mediterranean, while most of the surfers are on the European side.

The Med was not always culturally and politically divided. During the period of Roman domination of the Mediterranean basin, the territory on both the north and the south sides were part of the Roman Republic and later; the Roman Empire.
