Latakia on Syria's Mediterranean coast is shaped by winter storms swells hitting the sandy and rocky shoreline, producing point breaks and beach breaks that work across a variety of conditions. Conditions peak October through March, with water at 16-28C and winds that often cooperate to groom the wave faces. The Levantine Mediterranean energy of the area, combined with flatbreads and kibbeh, makes Latakia a compelling stop on any surf journey through Syria. And the wave count per surfer remains generous. Beyond the waves, visitors enjoy flatbreads and kibbeh and the authentic atmosphere of ancient Levantine heritage. The coastline around Latakia is scenic and inviting, with the kind of raw natural beauty that reminds you why surf travel is about more than just the waves. Whether you are chasing a specific swell or exploring Syria's coast with an open schedule, Latakia is a destination that delivers on every front.
