About This Spot
Keros is a sheltered bay spot located on the Greek coast, characterized by shallow turquoise waters with visible shallow-water vegetation and rocky features. The bay faces northeast, offering natural protection from larger ocean swells. Water conditions are choppy with small average waves (0.60m), indicating fetch limitations typical of enclosed bays. The spot features a gradual transition from agricultural land to a sandy/rocky beach with scattered vegetation coverage. The shallow nature and visible seagrass beds suggest this is primarily a flat-water kitesurfing destination rather than a wave spot. Best conditions occur with northwest winds providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. The low wind reliability (28.2%) and modest average wind speed (9.5 knots) indicate this is a seasonal spot requiring patience for adequate sessions. Suitable for intermediate kiters comfortable with shallow-water launches and navigation around submerged features. The proximity to rocky areas and vegetation requires awareness of launch/landing zones. This spot works best during stronger wind periods and is most consistent during specific seasonal windows.
