Hazards

SANDBAR Exposed sandy beach break — banks respond to genuine W/SW swell events, but it can sit flat for stretches.
RIP W/SW swell builds a beach-break rip on bigger days — paddle wide of the darker channels, no lifeguard here.
LOCALS Small, welcoming local scene shared with nearby Lagouvardos.
OFFSHORE WIND Best with E/NE wind blowing offshore off the Gulf of Kyparissia.
