Where to surf in Albania
The Balkans don’t do too well for waves because winds and swells are usually NE or SE. Albania has the longest fetch for summer’s weak NW windswells and experiences the strongest winds and wave heights in the Adriatic, but S to NW swell is rarer than NE or SE. Durrës has sloppy peaks around the many piers.
