About Kokkino Limanaki
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (91°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (271°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 27). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 15°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Schinias. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 climbing area.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
