Kastrosikia (Pydima Kyra Coast)

Kastrosikia is a recognized right-hand beach break on the Ionian coast, known for peeling waves that can deliver long rides when the swell and wind line up. The spot is described as a regional classic, with standard sessions producing roughly 50–150 m rides, and exceptional days extending to around 300 m. For surf, the working setup is primarily West or Southwest swell combined with East or Northeast offshore winds. One source notes the wave can start working around 1.0–1.5 m and hold up to 2 m and beyond; on larger swells the wave tends to hold longer but becomes more powerful and challenging. All tides are reported to work. The beach is sandy with rock features, and the bottom is described as sandy with rocks/mixed sections. Expect hazards including rocks and reef-like submerged sections—particularly toward the right side of the beach—plus the possibility of rip currents near rocky points during bigger conditions. Access is straightforward via the coastal road from Preveza, with parking along the beach front and in the village. On-site amenities include toilets and food/drink options behind the beach, while dedicated surf-equipment rental on the sand is not indicated; visitors are advised to bring their own gear. Lifeguard coverage is seasonal, and emergency medical services are based in Preveza.
