About Evia - Hiliadou-Metohi
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (14°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (194°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 11). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 15°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Platana.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
