About This Spot
Keros Beach on Limnos faces northwest toward the Aegean Sea, offering a sheltered beach break with sandy/pebbly shoreline. The spot features a gradual entry with moderate shallow water areas and visible rocky formations along the coast. Agricultural development dominates the inland landscape with minimal natural vegetation buffer. Wind conditions are marginal with low reliability and average speeds around 9.5 knots, requiring favorable weather windows. Wave exposure is limited, producing small consistent ripples rather than organized swell. Best wind direction is northeast (45°), providing side-shore conditions for safe kite control. The spot suits beginners seeking gentle conditions and protected waters, though low wind frequency means sessions depend on favorable seasonal patterns. Kiters should account for rocky hazards near the waterline, shallow depths, and the need for lighter wind speeds to generate usable conditions. Local knowledge of seasonal wind patterns is valuable.
