Meniakos
Edit SpotAbout
A great wave for big-wave riders wave, can get enormous.
Atmosphere:
Sharp Rocks appear sometimes out the water called Los Calvos, many people get injured here.
With the swell north the wave is short, but with the swell north-west the wave is medium-long, max 150 m
This spot is a big-wave and very very powerful, friends. I have seen people take-off with more than 6 m, sometimes service rescue help the crazy surfers. In the section called "los calvos" the wave is pipeline.
Additional Info:
You will need a gun to ride this wave
