About Chorefto
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (55°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (235°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 400 m out (1 in 39). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 14°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Mouresi, 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).
