Conditions at Krikri

Krikri is open to the sea from the NNE–E, so waves build there when the gregos and levantes blow, including the summer meltemi. Land shelters it from the WSW–NW.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 21 °C at the surface and warm to about 53 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 3.6 km of open waterNNE: 166.4 km of open waterNE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: 42.8 km of open waterE: 20.5 km of open waterESE: 11.7 km of open waterSE: 11.8 km of open waterSSE: 9.3 km of open waterS: 8.0 km of open waterSSW: 4.7 km of open waterSW: 3.1 km of open waterWSW: 0.5 km of open waterW: 0.5 km of open waterWNW: 0.2 km of open waterNW: 0.6 km of open waterNNW: 3.1 km of open waterNESW
