Kouremenos Beach

Kouremenos Beach is located on the southeastern coast of Crete, Greece, facing southeastward into the Cretan Sea. This open beach break features a gradual slope with agricultural development inland, typical of eastern Crete's farming regions. The spot experiences consistent but variable winds with moderate reliability, averaging 11.7 knots. Water conditions are notably choppy, suggesting either strong local winds or fetch from the open sea. The beach offers moderate wave heights around 0.79m on average, making it suitable for intermediate kiters seeking side-shore wind from the northeast (45°). The shallow nearshore area requires careful edge management, and the visible rocky formations at the eastern end pose collision hazards. Water temperature averages 20°C, requiring seasonal protection. Best conditions occur during summer thermal wind patterns typical of the Aegean. Kiters should monitor wind consistency closely, as the 44.9% reliability indicates frequent flat periods. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with variable conditions and choppy water.
