The coast of Oia offers several spots for surfing.

"F3" or "La Salvaje" is how the locals call a mutating wave, also known as 'slab', which breaks at approximately 200 metres from the coast on a granite rock base. It is a fast right-hander tube, short and intense, ideal for advanced surfers. It breaks at a depth of 0.5 meters and reaches height of 3 or 4 metres. The big waves created during rough sea conditions have made it a popular spot in recent years for jet ski tow-in surfing.
