About This Spot
Kohilari is a small beach break located on the Aegean coast of Greece, featuring a sandy beach backed by agricultural land and rocky terrain. The spot faces northwest toward open water with a gradual seafloor transition from shallow beach areas to deeper water. The coastline is characterized by mixed sand and pebble composition with scattered rocky outcrops that require navigation awareness. Wind reliability is notably low at 28.9%, with average winds of 9.8 knots providing marginal conditions. Wave heights average 0.89m, indicating small, inconsistent swells typical of protected Aegean locations. The rough-chop water texture suggests variable wind patterns and fetch limitations. This spot is best suited for beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking practice in light wind conditions. Side-shore northeast winds (approximately 45°) provide the safest launch and landing conditions. Water temperature around 20°C is moderate. Kiters should account for low wind consistency and plan sessions during peak wind windows. Local knowledge of rock positions and seafloor changes is beneficial.
