About Kolimphitra Bay
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (2°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (182°). 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 moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 26). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 24°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Triantaros, 9.7 km away (about 20 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
