About Stalida Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (16°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (196°). 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 gently: 10 m deep about 500 m out (1 in 50). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 16°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 26°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Hersonissos, 5.8 km away (about 10 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).
