Conditions at Psaropoula

Psaropoula is open to the sea from the WSW–NE, so waves build there when the vorias, gregos, ponentes and maistros blow, including the summer meltemi. Land shelters it from the ENE–SSW.

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

When it's rough here, try Kallithea Reef (8.6 km, sheltered from the WSW–NNE) or Anthony Quinn Bay (15 km, sheltered from the WSW–NNE).

The water is 23 °C at the surface and warm to about 48 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: 26.3 km of open waterNNE: 40.2 km of open waterNE: 51.8 km of open waterENE: 0.3 km of open waterE: 0.3 km of open waterESE: 0.2 km of open waterSE: 0.2 km of open waterSSE: 0.3 km of open waterS: 0.4 km of open waterSSW: 1.1 km of open waterSW: 5.6 km of open waterWSW: 49.9 km of open waterW: 75.4 km of open waterWNW: 33.4 km of open waterNW: 20.3 km of open waterNNW: 20.3 km of open waterNESW

Open to WSW–NE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from ENE–SSW: land blocks the waves.
