About Kalo Nero
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (281°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (101°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 1–6 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 23). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 16°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Kyparissia, 5.9 km away (9 min by car).
Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
