Prasonisi Beach Kitesurfing wind conditions

Prasonisi Beach is known for its strong and consistent winds. The prevailing wind direction is usually from the north or northwest, often referred to as the Meltemi wind. However, it's important to note that Prasonisi Beach is a unique spot where two different wind patterns meet. The wind can vary within the area, with the north side typically experiencing stronger winds, while the south side might have lighter winds or even be windless due to the wind shadow effect caused by the island's topography. Prasonisi Beach is renowned for its strong wind conditions, particularly during the summer months. The Meltemi winds can range from 15 to 30 knots or even higher, providing excellent conditions for kitesurfing. The wind strength can be more intense on the north side of the beach. The wind at Prasonisi Beach is generally consistent during the summer season, allowing for extended kitesurfing sessions. However, wind conditions can vary from day to day, so it's advisable to check the weather forecast and monitor local wind reports before planning your kitesurfing activities.

Water conditions: Prasonisi Beach offers a combination of flat water and small to medium-sized waves, making it suitable for various kitesurfing styles. The north side of the beach tends to have choppier waters due to stronger winds, while the south side offers calmer conditions.
