Apolakkia Rhodes

Apolakkia is a south-facing beach break located on the eastern coast of Rhodes, Greece, characterized by a sandy shoreline backed by agricultural fields and scattered vegetation. The spot presents a sheltered environment with rough-chop water conditions typical of enclosed or semi-protected coastlines. With average wind speeds of 8.8 knots and notably low wind reliability at 19.2%, this location experiences inconsistent conditions that may require patience between sessions. Wave heights average 0.90 meters, making this primarily a beginner-friendly destination unsuitable for progression work. The side-shore wind orientation from the north provides safe launching and recovery conditions when wind is available. The shallow near-shore water and visible agricultural infrastructure suggest caution regarding water quality and hazards. This spot suits absolute beginners seeking sheltered conditions and small, manageable waves, though the unreliable wind and minimal fetch distance limit its appeal for more advanced kiters seeking consistent, dynamic sessions.
