Svallas is a spot on Samos's northwest coast, further west than Kokkari. This spot is even more exposed to the Meltemi channeling through the Samos-Ikaria strait, with conditions often stronger and more challenging than Kokkari. The beach is wilder and more isolated. It's a spot for advanced riders seeking strong wind and wave conditions.
Rideable May to September. Conditions regularly strong — plan for 5-9m² kites. Launch from the pebble beach. No water sports center on site — autonomous riders only. Kokkari's centers are a few kilometers east. Spot for wave-riding and committed freeride.
Open all year round
Advanced
Exposed water with 1-2.5m waves in strong Meltemi. Steep, short chop. Pebble and rock bottom. Bigger wave conditions than Kokkari due to more direct exposure to the strait's fetch.
Access by coastal road from Karlovassi. Limited parking by the beach. Road sometimes difficult. Less accessible than Kokkari.
More exposed position than Kokkari in the Samos-Ikaria strait. Meltemi arrives from N/NNW often 3-5 knots stronger. Wind is onshore to side-onshore on this northwest coast. Sustained 18-30+ knots in summer. The NW coast also receives W/WNW winds during weather systems. Conditions regularly advanced to extreme in midsummer.
ADVANCED SPOT: very powerful wind (20-30+ knots regularly). Pebble and rock bottom — dangerous crashes. Powerful waves. Shore break. Isolated spot with no rescue nearby. Ride with company and communication equipment. No safety infrastructure.
