Surf

The coast of Oia has several surfing spots.

SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO

Enjoy an exciting surfing experience on a unique wave that only breaks from one metre, with a right and left peak at high tide. Easy access and parking nearby.
The "San Francisco" wave has been surfed since the end of the 1980s by legendary surfers from Vigo who were always seeking alternatives for this strip of coast. It is a big wave that breaks at a depth of one meter thanks to a large rock located right in the middle of the sea. An enjoyable and amiable right-to-left peak appears at high tide. This wave holds a lot of swell and can reach a height of three metres before cutting off the bay. You can park in front of the wave and there is easy access through a ramp. Because it's open sea, it's a good idea to buddy up.
