Lefkada Lagoon is defined by stable, thermal winds usually during mid day and in the afternoon. Wind Season: The wind season in Lefkada generally starts from May and extends until October. The peak wind months are July and August, but you can still find suitable conditions for kitesurfing in the shoulder months. Wind Direction: The predominant wind in the Lefkada lagoon is the thermal wind known as "maistro" or "meltemi."
