Evia - Kimi

Evia – Kimi (Greece, Greek Islands) is a scenic surf spot on the eastern side of Evia Island, near the town of Kymi/Kimi. It’s not the most famous surf destination in Greece, but it can produce fun waves when the right wind and swell line up.

Spot character

• Type: Exposed beach/point-style coastline depending on the exact section of shore
• Best for: Intermediate surfers and adventurous beginners on smaller days
• Wave quality: Usually modest, but can get cleaner and more powerful during stronger north or northeast swell events
• Consistency: Occasional; conditions are highly weather-dependent

Conditions

• Swell direction: Works best with N to NE swells that wrap into the Aegean
• Wind: Offshore or light winds from the west/southwest tend to improve shape; strong onshore winds can quickly ruin it
• Wave size: Typically small to medium, though larger winter systems can bring better surf
• Bottom: Can vary from sand to mixed rock depending on the exact break, so caution is advised

Best season

• Autumn to winter is usually the most reliable period for surf in this area.
• Summer is often calmer, with smaller waves and more wind-swell exposure rather than proper groundswell.

Vibe and setting

• Kimi is a quiet, authentic Greek coastal town with a relaxed atmosphere.
• The area offers beautiful views, clear water, and a less crowded surf experience than more established European surf regions.
• It’s a good option for surfers who enjoy exploration and don’t mind checking multiple spots.

Notes

• Conditions can change quickly in the Aegean.
• Because surf in Greece is generally episodic, it’s worth checking forecasts closely before going.
• Local knowledge can make a big difference here.
