About This Spot
Kaminia Beach is located on the western coast of Greece, facing southwest into the Ionian Sea. The spot consists of a protected bay with a sandy beach backed by low hills and residential development. The shallow, enclosed water conditions are typical of Mediterranean coastal bays, with variable light swell and limited fetch from the southwest. The bay configuration provides natural wind acceleration from the northwest (side-shore), making northwesterly winds ideal for this location. Water conditions are generally calm with small waves averaging 0.61m, suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected conditions. The low wind reliability (1.4%) and modest average wind speed (4.4 knots) indicate this is a marginal spot that requires favorable wind windows. Visible shallow areas, scattered rocks, and proximity to residential areas require careful launch planning and respect for local access points. Best conditions occur during winter months when northwesterly winds are more frequent.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water near shore
Scattered rocks and reef formations visible in water
Limited fetch distance due to bay configuration
Residential properties and structures close to beach
Potential seagrass or vegetation in shallow areas
