About This Spot
Anavyssos is a shallow bay located on the Attica coast near Athens, Greece. The spot features a sandy beach backed by a curved shoreline that opens to protected waters. The bay receives consistent wind exposure from the northeast during favorable conditions, though overall wind reliability remains low at 20.1%. Water conditions are typically choppy with modest wave heights averaging 0.46m, limiting wave riding potential. The gradual sandy bottom and enclosed bay environment create safe conditions for beginners and progression riders. Average temperatures of 19.7°C require consideration of seasonal variations. The proximity to residential areas and infrastructure suggests moderate boat traffic during peak periods. Best conditions occur during northwesterly wind events that maintain side-shore or slightly offshore angles relative to the main beach. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate riders seeking protected, forgiving conditions for learning. Key considerations include waiting for reliable wind windows, monitoring tide changes in the shallow bay, and being aware of local traffic patterns.
