Tholos Surf Guide

Tholos in Crete is a fairly exposed beach break. Summer offers the optimum conditions for surfing. The best wind direction is from the south southwest with some shelter here from west winds. Handles onshore winds better than most spots There is too little fetch for groundswells to form and the ideal wave direction is from the north. The beach break provides left and right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. An uncrowded break, even when it is working. Watch out for rocks.
