About Little bay
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (230°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (50°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). 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 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For beginners the best months are usually January and December, with about 2 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Loutsa, 6.3 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
