Hazards

Shallow flat water requires awareness of the seafloor and potential rocks; stay vigilant for sudden depth changesLight and variable winds (8.4 kts average) can make it challenging to maintain power; be prepared for lullsOccasional swimmers and beach-goers in the flat water zone; maintain clear communication and safe distances

Launch notes

Flat water provides ideal conditions for beginners to practice control and progression. Launching is easiest with SW to W winds; check for any beach access restrictions before arrival.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites to maximize light wind potential; a beginner-friendly directional board or hybrid board works best in these predictable, flat conditions.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is suitable for most seasons; water temperatures are moderate year-round in the Eastern Mediterranean, though winter months (Dec-Feb) may require a 4/3mm.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect swimmers and share the flat water zone responsibly, staying downwind of swimmers. Coordinate with other kiters to avoid tangled lines in the light-wind conditions.

Additional notes

Winter (Dec-Feb) and spring (Mar-Apr) offer the most reliable wind days; plan trips accordingly. Check local wind forecasts closely due to low average wind speed and plan for light-wind techniques.
