About Ateni Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (42°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (222°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 17). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 25°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Gavrio, 8.7 km away (about 15 min by car).
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).

about US$1,230–US$2,340 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food, board and wetsuit.
