Kalo Chorio

Kalo Chorio is located in a sheltered bay on Crete's northern coast, facing northeast toward the Aegean Sea. The spot consists of a sandy beach with gradual water depth, backed by agricultural land and scattered residential development. The bay is partially enclosed by rocky headlands on both the eastern and western flanks, which provide some protection from larger swells but limit fetch distance. With average wind speeds of 8.6 knots and low reliability at 22.3%, conditions are often marginal. The spot works best with northwesterly winds (315°) that blow parallel to the coastline. Water temperatures average 20.5°C and wave heights typically remain under 0.6m, indicating calm conditions suitable for progression. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to protected waters and sandy bottom, though the low wind frequency means sessions require careful timing around weather windows. Light-swell conditions mean minimal wave assistance; success depends almost entirely on wind availability.
