Visitor reviews of Thommos surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“A goofy's paradise, Thommoes can provide the ride of your life. It has probably the weirdest side/back wash of any break I have surfed, as the waves rebound off almost vertical rocks and hit the oncoming waves on a strange angle, creating some interesting and unpredictable sections. Can be long and wally, and works very well in nor-easterly swells with no wind or light westerly. Timing the paddle out is important. Love this place, but respect the locals.”
