Keros beach Kitesurf Spot in Limnos
Europe Kiteboard Spot in Greece
Keros offers a large bay with flat water, some bump and jump chop and even some small waves on the outside, making it a perfect spot for any level of kitesurfer. It’s 32 kilometers east of Myrina, Limnos city and a few kilometers from Kalliopi town so it’s easy to get around and see more of Limnos. Keros is a turquoise patch of heaven which is suitable for kiteboarding and other water sports. There aren’t many spots which offer this level of safety for learning to kiteboard, alongside perfect conditions for freeride and freestyle kitesurfers. Because of the huge standing area, the bay is perfect for anyone looking to learn to kitesurf. In the shallow flat water at the upwind side of the bay you have the perfect kite spot for practicing your freestyle tricks.
Keros beach Kitesurfing wind conditions
The windy season begins in June and lasts till September, however strong wind conditions can be found throughout the year if you are lucky. The Meltemi thermal wind, which blows from the northeast and is warm in the summer is the predominant wind. During the summer, expect the wind to start off a little light first thing, but then pick up with wind speeds in the afternoon ranging between 16-25 knots. The water of Keros Beach is gorgeous Mediterranean blue, with a white sand beach underneath it. During the summer, the water temperature remains around 25 degrees celsius.
Keros Beach is divided into three sections. Due to the shallowness of the water and the offshore wind, the far north end is butter flat but can get busy. The middle part of the beach has modest bumps and jumps but is still shallow which makes it ideal for learning, and down further you’ll find some chop for launching jumps off. If you drift downwind too much don’t worry, it’s sandy at the far end you can get yourself out of trouble easily.
