Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Devil's Bay is located on the eastern coast of Karpathos in Greece, facing east into the Aegean Sea. The spot is a relatively enclosed bay with rocky terrain and scattered vegetation along the shore, backed by agricultural lands. The bay provides some protection from open ocean swell while maintaining access to wind. Water conditions are characteristically rough and choppy rather than organized swell. Wind reliability is moderate at 33.5%, requiring careful session planning. North winds (0°) provide ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the eastern-facing coastline. Average wind speeds of 10.3 knots and waves around 1 meter make this an intermediate-level spot. The presence of rocks and shallow areas near shore demands careful navigation and landing zone awareness. Best suited for intermediate kiters with experience in variable wind and rough-water conditions. Sessions work best during wind windows when northern winds establish. The spot attracts local enthusiasts but remains less developed than other Greek destinations, offering more isolated conditions.
