Sailing conditions
In the mornings the water is flat but by midday the wind picks up and the waves start to swell, and by the afternoon the wind is really blowing. In other words the conditions are ideal for kiters of all ages and abilities. Reliable cross shore winds, warm seas, a lovely energetic vibe on the beach and some great tuition make for some kiting days in Kremasti. Generally the wind will be lighter in the morning, typically starting at around 14-16 knots, before the thermal effect takes hold and turbo charges the breeze up to an optimum 20-22 knots, virtually every day throughout the summer. Launching is easy due to the protected location and there is no significant swell breaking on the beach. For beginners, lessons take place a few hundred metres upwind of the main centre where sand spit curves out into the sea. This provides a safe, shallow learning environment in which to make your first body drags and board starts. The supportive, friendly instructors are readily at hand to support you during your lessons. Advanced riders will delight in the constant winds and the little bumps begging to be used as launch ramps. With so much space available in Kremasti you can log a huge amount of airtime and it’s an ideal place to work up the confidence whatever your level.
Security advices
Kremasti is ideal for all level kitesurfers with big sandy beach and there is local security assistance with rescue boat and local kite surf school during all summer period.
