Spot description
The 4 Sports Surf Center is in the eastern part of Anavyssos Bay, which is around 2.5 km long. Thermal northeast wind produces offshore conditions over flat water, with room for freeride, slalom and freestyle. In winter strong southwest wind can bring waves into the bay. The sheltered curve of coast offers several return options; still maintain your upwind position consistently in offshore wind.
