Amiti Naxos

Amiti on Naxos is a shallow bay with lagoon characteristics located on the northeast coast of the Cycladic island. The spot features a northeast-facing shoreline with a narrow entrance from the open Aegean Sea. The bay contains both open water and shallow lagoon sections, with visible agricultural land and scattered development inland. The relatively sheltered nature of the bay provides controlled conditions suitable for progression. Wind reliability is modest at 34%, indicating inconsistent conditions typical of Mediterranean summer patterns. The 0.60m average wave height reflects the bay's protected character from major Atlantic swell. Best conditions occur with northwest winds, which approach the bay nearly side-shore. Low wind speeds (10.3 knots average) suggest this spot works primarily in moderate sea breezes. The spot suits beginners to early intermediate riders seeking calm, manageable water with minimal hazards. Kiters should be aware of the bay's narrow entrance, which can create variable wind patterns, and should avoid the shallowest lagoon sections during low water. Spring and autumn typically offer more consistent wind than summer months.
