Which wind flattens the sea here

The shores of Attica mostly face south: 4 of the 10 beaches have that orientation. In practice a northerly wind blows off the land and the water near the shore flattens out, while a southerly wind hits head-on and builds waves. Days with a northerly wind are the safest bet for the region.
