Surfing in August The meltemi blows down the Aegean and sends short, punchy wind swell into north-facing bays like Kolymbithra on Tinos, in water around 25 °C.
Summer family surf trip The summer meltemi builds short, friendly waves on north-facing Greek beaches like Mesakti on Ikaria, in water around 24–25 °C.
