Hazards

Shallow flat water requires awareness of the seafloor; check depth before launchingVariable wind directions (N, NE, SE, SSE, NW) can create gusty conditions near landLow average wind speed (9.1 kts) means many days will be marginal for kitesurfing

Launch notes

Flat water makes this ideal for beginners and freestyle, with easy launching from the beach. North and northeasterly winds are most reliable; check for adequate wind speed before heading out as average conditions are light.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a larger kite (15-17m) to handle the light average winds of 9.1 kts; a directional or twin-tip board works well in flat water. Consider a smaller kite (12-14m) for stronger wind days in peak season.

Clothing · A 3mm wetsuit is suitable for the Eastern Mediterranean climate during peak season (Feb-Jul); spring and early summer require minimal protection. Water temperature ranges from cool in winter to warm by summer.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users in this popular tourist zone and maintain safe distance from swimmers and other beach activities. Follow local kite school protocols if present.

Additional notes

Best conditions occur during spring and early summer months when wind is more consistent. Plan trips around the 47.5 windy days per year, concentrating visits in March-July for highest probability of rideable wind.
