About us
SurfCamItalia
Your eye on the wave: Italian surf webcams in one place, to decide where to surf by looking at the real sea.
What SurfCamItalia is
SurfCamItalia is a platform that brings every Italian surf spot with a webcam together on one site. The goal is to let you check conditions at surf spots remotely and quickly, so you can decide where to surf without driving for nothing.
The project features spots that are already well known and frequented, avoiding any exposure of secret spots or places reserved to local communities.
The webcams are either Lineup webcams (installed and run by us) or external webcams (installed by third parties).
Our mission
Showing the real conditions of Italian surf spots, with no forecasts and no wasted trips: webcams pointed at the lineup, installed and run with care, respecting the spots and their local communities.
Made by surfers, for surfers
What you get
- LIVE Lineup webcams on the most popular spots

Frequently asked questions
What are Lineup webcams?
Lineup webcams are installed by SurfCamItalia with one precise goal: filming the lineup of the spot directly (where the surfing happens) for the clearest possible reading of the real conditions.
Unlike many generic webcams, the position is chosen for the spot, and we take care of running it (monitoring, maintenance, continuity of service).
What is the difference between Lineup webcams and external webcams?
Lineup webcams: installed and run by SurfCamItalia, designed to frame the lineup as well as possible, with controlled reliability and quality.
External webcams: installed by third parties such as beach clubs, towns, harbours or other services. They give an overall view of the area and the sea, but do not always allow an ideal reading of the conditions at the spot. For these, the original provider remains the reference.
Privacy: does the webcam film people or cars?
The camera is aimed at the sea and the area needed to read the conditions. When we design a framing, we keep unnecessary elements to a minimum and avoid pointless zoom or detail.
If a local community reports a concern, we consider adjusting the framing to keep an effective view of the sea while respecting the context.
Do you consult local communities before installing?
Yes: we want feedback on usefulness, framing and the most requested spots. The goal is a national network that is genuinely useful and supported by the people who use it.
If a spot is not suitable or there is no interest, we would rather invest elsewhere.
