About Naxos apollonas
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (40°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (220°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 7). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 17°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 24°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Naxos. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
