Ammoudia, Greece, is a surf spot heavily reliant on wind swell, as ground swells are virtually non-existent year-round. The best months for surfers are typically November through February, when wind swell frequency peaks (57-62%), and mean swell size reaches 0.8-0.9m—modest but surfable for intermediate riders. However, wind conditions are challenging, with bad onshore winds dominating 89-91% of the time during these months, limiting clean surf windows. Winter offers the most consistent waves but demands patience for rare offshore wind days (only 9-11% favorable). From March to October, conditions degrade significantly: swell frequency drops (26-50%), wave height diminishes (0.4-0.6m), and wind quality plummets (bad winds 91-97% of the time). Summer (June-August) is particularly flat, with 72-74% no-swell days and near-constant unfavorable winds. Early autumn (September-October) and late spring (May) see marginal improvements but remain inconsistent. For dedicated surfers, late autumn and winter provide the only viable windows, though the spot is rarely epic. Prioritize November-December for slightly better wind odds paired with the year’s largest waves, but expect frequent chop and limited glassy conditions. This is not a high-performance destination; it suits surfers chasing off-season sessions or beginners practicing in small, messy waves.
