Ftelia Bay

Ftelia Bay is a sheltered bay on the eastern coast of Mykonos in the Aegean Sea, Greece. The bay opens toward the northeast, with rocky headlands flanking both sides of the entrance. The spot features a sandy beach backed by shallow lagoon waters that deepen toward the bay mouth, creating variable conditions across the sailing area. The bay offers moderate protection from prevailing winds but remains exposed to swell from the Aegean. Average wind speeds of 12.6 knots with 49% reliability suggest seasonal inconsistency typical of Mediterranean locations. Water conditions are characterized as rough-chop with modest wave heights around 0.82m. The sheltered lagoon area suits intermediate riders, while the bay mouth provides more dynamic conditions. Best wind direction is northwesterly (315°), flowing side-shore across the bay. Riders should account for variable wind caused by surrounding terrain and potential gusts from the eastern cliffs. The presence of residential areas indicates moderate boat traffic, particularly during summer months. Shallow zones near the beach and rocky sections require awareness for safe launching and landing.
