San Pawl Island, located off the northern coast of Malta, is home of the island's most elusive and thrilling waves. As Surf Coach Valerio from Malta Surf School, I’ve spent years teaching, coaching, and exploring Malta’s surf scene. But there’s something special about the right-hand waves at San Pawl Island—they don’t come around often, but when they do, they’re worth every moment of anticipation.


The Surfing Magic of San Pawl Island

San Pawl Island is one of the most sought-after surf spots in Malta. Known for its shallow right-hand waves, it’s an advanced surf spot . These right-hand breaks are not only beautiful but offer a unique experience for surfers who are ready to ride the waves. The conditions here are unpredictable, which makes each surf session even more exciting.


Trusting Your Instincts: "Today’s the Day"

As a seasoned surfer and surf coach in Malta, I’ve spent countless hours studying the waves and understanding their behavior. When I arrived at San Pawl Island that morning, I could feel it: today was the day. The swell was lining up, the wind was cooperating, and the conditions were perfect for those rare right-hand waves to show up. There’s something incredible about the moment you realize that everything is falling into place.

The Rare Right-Hand Wave at San Pawl Island

The right-hand waves at San Pawl Island are not for beginners. Due to the shallow reef and powerful breaks, they require advanced skills and good timing. The wave here is often fast and can close out quickly, so surfers need to be prepared for the challenge. As soon as I saw the wave forming, I knew I had to go for it. Despite not having the ideal board with me, I grabbed my surfboard and paddled out, determined to ride this rare beauty. The feeling of catching a wave like that is indescribable.

The wave was powerful, fast, and perfect—everything you could ask for in a session. Surfing in Malta may not always come with consistent conditions, but on days like today, the ocean rewards you with something truly extraordinary.
