Preveli Surf Guide

Preveli in Crete is a quite exposed point break. Winter is the optimum time of year for surfing here. Offshore winds blow from the northeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the southwest. There is no point break. Good surf at all stages of the tide. An uncrowded break, even when it is working. Take care of rocks in the line up.
