About Glyfada Corfu
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (225°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (45°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 8). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 15°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Glyfada, 0.2 km away (about 5 min by car).
Water about 21°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).
Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,110–US$2,130 each
