Hazards

MELTEMI Meltemi is a strong summer NW wind — creates chop, not rideable surf. Oct–Mar is the surf window.
RIP NW groundswell builds lateral currents along the west-coast beaches — Plaka and Agios Georgios are long enough to drift and walk back easily.
LOCALS Tiny Cycladic surf scene — a few regulars around Naxos Town, casual and welcoming given how few surf-worthy days there are.
CURRENT NW swells create lateral currents on west coast beaches.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid to high rising · low tide exposes reef dangerously
Peak season Oct–Mar · NW groundswell · Meltemi calms · West coast beaches · Cyclades setting
Swell key NW swell from open Aegean · West coast exposed · Plaka and Agios Georgios best
Level Intermediate · Sandy beaches · Iconic Cyclades setting
Dawn patrol West coast faces sunset — morning sessions have light from behind. Plaka is quietest.
