Bova surf guide

Bova is a surf spot located along the picturesque south-facing Route 106 on the Ionic coast. It's known for being the most consistent and reliable surfing area in the region. Bova features a long left-hand wave that often forms near a rivermouth. The take-off can be steep, and when the conditions are right, you might catch some occasional sucky barrels. However, it's important to note that the rivermouth can often be dry, affecting the overall surf experience.

The spot works best with southeast swells and can handle swell sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters). You can also expect some action with east and south swells. The waves break over boulders, so be cautious. The left waves tend to be more common here, and this spot is best surfed with northwest winds. You can surf Bova at any tide, whether it's low, mid, or high, but be aware that it's more suitable for intermediate surfers.

As a popular spot, Bova tends to get crowded, especially when the conditions are favorable. Keep in mind that the water is generally decent, but you might want to check it after heavy rain. If you're looking for reliable surf along this stretch of coast, Bova is definitely worth a visit.
