About The island
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces S (185°), so it takes swell from the S. The wind blows offshore from the N (5°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 2–8 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 9). 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). The town to stay in is Parga, 0.8 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
