Gra Lygia

Gra Lygia is a bay-facing south in Crete, Greece, characterized by shallow, protected waters with visible agricultural development inland. The spot sits along a developed coastline with extensive greenhouse cultivation and residential areas interspersed with olive groves. The water exhibits typical Cretan bay conditions with light swell averaging 0.59m and low wind reliability at 16.6%. Best wind conditions come from easterly (90°) or westerly (270°) directions to achieve side-shore alignment. The shallow bay waters and limited fetch distance make this a beginner-friendly spot with minimal wave power. Water discoloration suggests seasonal agricultural runoff affecting visibility. The spot offers protected conditions ideal for learning but limited progression potential due to constrained fetch and shallow depths. Local infrastructure indicates regular use by small watercraft. Wind conditions are marginal, requiring careful timing during stronger systems. Suited for beginners seeking sheltered practice in a Mediterranean bay environment with manageable water conditions.
