Apollonas

Best Surf Season (November - March)

Apollonas doesn't light up like a typical Atlantic reef - it's a microtidal, NE-facing Cycladic corner that needs a very specific combination of raw north energy and offshore southern air. The best months are November through March, when Mediterranean cyclone tracks are most active and the N to NE fetches deliver their largest average swells of the year. January and February peak with average heights near 1.3m (4.3ft) and average periods at 5.5s - still short-period windswell by global standards, but the most powerful and consistent the spot sees. Offshore S/SW wind windows occur roughly 27-30 percent of the time, so the NE-facing beach can occasionally groom the storm lumps into fun 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) walls. A negative NAO phase often favors stormier periods in the eastern Med, making winter the time to watch the charts carefully.
