The Reef - Greece surf guide

The Reef in Greece is a well-known surf spot that attracts surfers looking for good waves without the usual crowds. It offers a unique setting with an uneven reef that can produce decent surf throughout the year. The area is known for its varied conditions, so it’s a favorite for those who are willing to explore what it has to offer.

At The Reef, the optimal swell direction comes from the West, and it's best during SW-W swells. You can expect waves to handle sizes starting at about 1 foot (0.3 meters) and going up. The waves here break over the reef and can be either left or right, making it suitable for different surfing styles. The preferrable wind is from the East, and the surf works well during low, mid, and high tides. Keep in mind that this spot is best suited for intermediate surfers due to the reef and the swell conditions.

Surfers should be aware that the spot can get hollow sections, especially when the swell is right. It's less crowded than many other spots, giving you more space to enjoy your session. Just be cautious of the urchins on the reef, as they can be a nuisance if you're not careful.
