The Best Attractions In Murta Maria

WDJ S01E02 Traveling Sardinia - Murta Maria

Hello everybody!

After traveling to Porto Pollo during the first Episode of a Wind Driven Journey it’s time to explore the NE part of the island and go to a spot called Murta Maria to catch the Sirocco (South - East wind) on days the Mistral winds stop.

But before going to the windsurfing action we take a look at a local tradition of Sardinia called the Horse Riding. During this event, all local people gather for some drinks and watch some of Sardinia’s fastest horses & most skilled horseman/woman in a goal to win the Star riding competition.

In this competition the combination of speed & the amount of stars you gather are the key to victory. Very impressive to watch this was a perfect activity to fill a rare windless day!

After that you will get an inside look on how I live in my van and why I like to travel this way.


Windsurfing spot: Murta Maria

During this episode we visit a more local spot near Olbia called Murta Maria. Famous for its local thermic this is one of the spots you need to know on Sardinia if you want to catch a good amount of extra days on the water. When the Mistral stops working in Porto Pollo and the wind turns towards a SE direction with not much cloud cover you can score days on 5.2 and 4.8 even when windguru is only giving 8 - 10 knots of wind. Especially in summer this spot produces some good conditions when no where else there is wind.

Conditions are flat and the wind is a bit more gusty as it gets accelerated over land. Ussually the thermic doesn’t start before 1 in the afternoon and stays till around 5 , 5.30 p.m. so don’t worry if you arrive early and there isn’t any wind yet. Have a coffee at the local surfclub/bar and enjoy the amazing view!

Kite surfing isn’t allowed at this spot and will need to go one beach more to the North.

How to get there from of Porto Pollo?

Drive towards Olbia and keep going straight till past the Airport from Olbia in Southerly direction. Keep doing this till you arrive in the village Murta Maria and take the first left and than straight left again on the small roundabout. Go through the little Residential area following the road till on a dirt road next to a little lagoon. Follow this one till the end and you are at the spot!

WDJ Episode 1 Traveling Sardinia, Porto Pollo

During the first Episode of a Wind Driven Journey we visit the most famous spot of Northern Sardinia - Porto Pollo.

Porto Pollo is one of the most famous places for windsurfing in Sardinia, with it landspit towards the small island of sola dei gabiani the spot get's divided in 2 types of conditions.

Conditions in Mistral (westerly) winds:

Towards the West side you have the choppy side where its good for Freestyle and bump&jump. The wind is the most consistent here and almost all footage during this clip is filmed on this side.
On the Eastern side the water is flat which makes it ideal for beginners or learning new tricks. As it comes over the landspit the wind is a bit more gusty because of the dunes and the surfclub on the beach but one slalom gear or bigger freeride gear you defiantly enjoy the flat water more!

Due to it's almost perfect location the spot can be sailed in almost any wind direction however Westerly wind is most common and also the best due to the street of Bonifacio which gives the wind an extra kick on sunny days.

Best periode, is spring and autumn. During winter it still can be very good but temp. stay around 12°C during jan. Feb. March. when its windy and the wind feels cold from the West. In summer the island gets flooded by Italian tourist so if you prefer more a quite holiday summer might not be the best moment to visit Sardinia.

There are plenty of accommodation possibilities close by the spot, in the villages Porto Pollo and Barrabisa there are plenty of rental houses and within 15 min. driving distance you have Palau where you can stay as well and have all shop's close by.

Besides that free camping is allowed in most places and only gets more restricted in summer (but still allowed) as you have to start paying for parking on the 1st of June at Porto Pollo

On a Windless day its worth to visit Capo Testa and the Valley of the Moon. Some of the first drone shots in the clips are made here and the scenery is absolutely amazing, just like so many other places on Sardinia! Defiantly worth a drive around with it's stunning combination of mountains and Caribbean looking beaches.

Hello everybody!

After travelling to Murta Maria during the second Episode of a Wind Driven Journey it’s time to surf the local spot Collucia.

On a day without wind its a good moment to explore the little island next to Sardinia called La Maddalena. This island has a cute town and has a visually stunning scenery.

On the way to Collucha you can find ancient structures called Nuraghi and are a typical thing only found in Sardinia. Some of these places often get used as a place for rest, meditation and gathering energy.

The final spot we are surfing is Collucia. The spot is in the same bay as Porto Pollo but in a bit more in westerly direction.The water is a more flat but the wind is a bit harder and can be the perfect place for trying out new tricks.

Windsurfing spot: Collucia
