About this spot

About

Agrili is a left-hand reef break near Filiatra on the western Peloponnese coast. It’s known for producing good-quality, peeling waves during winter swell windows, though conditions can be inconsistent because the surf is on an exposed rocky bottom. Water is generally described as clean, and the beach/launch is small and rocky, with shallow reef sections in places. For surfing, the break is reef-rocky with a typical short ride length (usually under 50 meters), but on good days it can connect for much longer—reported in the range of roughly 150 to 300 meters. Working swell is described as starting around 1.0–1.5 m, with optimal swell directions listed as Northwest, West, and SouthWest. Surf quality is generally described as good when conditions align, but the rocky bottom also means bigger swell can become harder to manage. Wind information for the spot itself points to SouthWest to South winds with a mixed wind character, and a low wind reliability. Typical wind speeds are given as 10–25 knots, and gusting is described as moderate. Sources also note that East winds can help groom the waves offshore, while West winds can make conditions choppier. Safety is a primary consideration here: the hazard list includes rocks and reef, with the spot described as having a moderate shorebreak and moderate launch difficulty. There is no on-beach rescue/lifeguard presence reported, so riders should plan for careful entry/exit around sharp rocks and shallow sections. Crowd-wise, the spot is typically empty during the week and weekends, especially when compared to more developed surf beaches.
