Technical details of Asprokavos Corfu spot

Spot functioning

Rideable only in southerly wind (SE, S, SW), mainly in spring and autumn. Difficult launch on rocky coastline — scout for sandy access points. Open sea riding with swell. Exploration spot, no facilities or schools. Bring your own gear and experience.

On the water

Open water with southern swell. Waves of 1-2m possible. Rocky bottom in places, sandy in others. Currents around the headland. Water gets deep quickly offshore.

Required level

Advanced

Spot opening date

Open all year round

Parking

Difficult access. Unpaved road from Lefkimmi or Kavos. Limited parking by the track. Plan for an off-road vehicle or walk from Kavos.

Hazards

ADVANCED SPOT: dangerous rocky coast, strong currents around the headland, swell. No lifeguards or rescue nearby. NEVER ride alone. Absolutely avoid in NW wind (offshore). Maritime traffic in the channel to the south. Rocky bottom — be careful with crashes. Isolated spot, bring communication equipment.

Wind specificities

The spot catches southerly winds with no protection: Sirocco (SE), S and SW winds. These winds arrive onshore to side-onshore on the southern tip. Wind is often reinforced by the cape effect (acceleration around the headland). In summer, the Maestro (NW) creates offshore conditions here — absolutely avoid. The spot only works in southerly wind, more frequent in spring and autumn.
