About this spot

About

Mircos Point (Theologos) is a left-hand point-break surf spot on a rocky bottom with some shallow reef sections, located south of Rhodes Town in the Theologos area. It is described as fairly exposed, with limited natural shelter from wind-driven conditions. Surf is reported as working best when a North or Northwesterly swell is active, typically starting around 1.0–1.5 m and offering good wave quality. On normal days rides are usually short (often under 50 m), but on better conditions it can connect longer (roughly 150–300 m), with larger swell potential noted though the maximum is not clearly quantified. Wind matters for on-water conditions: one dataset emphasizes southwest winds from around noon as commonly side-on-shore, making the spot suitable for beginners and intermediates because conditions are often stable for learning. Another dataset highlights that South or East winds can provide cleaner/offshore conditions. Seasonal guidance also differs by dataset, with best months reported both for the winter swell/wind period (October–March) and for summer wind months (May–September), while overall conditions are frequently described as uncrowded. For safety, the key constraint is the rocky and shallow nature of the break—high tide is repeatedly identified as the preferred/necessary tide position to avoid shallow rocks. Access involves a car followed by a 15–30 minute walk from the parking area, and no lifeguard or spot-specific rescue coverage is reported.

  • High-tide preference to cover rocks/shallow reef sections
  • Left-hand point break with North/Northwest swell focus
  • Often uncrowded

What's great
  • Left-hand point break with good wave quality when the right swell is present
  • Often uncrowded (weekday/weekend reported empty or very low)
  • Wind direction options can create cleaner/offshore conditions (S/E) while southwest midday side-on can still work for learning
Heads up
  • Rocky bottom with shallow-reef sections makes high tide important
  • No spot-specific rescue reported
  • Wind reliability for surfing is reported as low in one dataset
