The Biggest Swell of Autumn 2024 Hits Malta: An Unforgettable Surf Experience

Autumn 2024 brought one of the most epic surf events to the island: the biggest swell of the season. Surfers from all over flocked to the southern coast to experience the incredible waves that make surfing in Malta truly special.

Local and expat surfers came together for a day that will go down in the history of surf in Malta, riding powerful swells that showcased the best of the island’s surf scene.

Fueled by a strong low-pressure system, the waves arrived with ideal conditions. Light offshore winds, long and clean sets, and impressive wave heights made for an exhilarating session. The south of Malta, known for its dramatic surf breaks, was the heart of the action. This wasn’t just any day of surfing; it was the swell of the year in Malta, with waves that challenged even the most experienced surfers.
