About This Spot
Kremasti is a beach break located on the northeast coast of Rhodes in Greece, facing northeast toward the Aegean Sea. The spot sits within a developed coastal area with residential properties and infrastructure extending to the shoreline. The beach is relatively sheltered, with a sandy bottom and gentle sloping approach typical of Mediterranean beach breaks. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than organized swell, with average wave heights around 0.5 meters. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds that provide side-shore coverage along the northeast-facing coast. The low wind reliability (10.8%) and modest average wind speed (7.6 knots) indicate this is a marginal spot that requires patient wind selection. The spot suits beginners and lighter-weight kiters due to shallow water and small wave heights. Key considerations include navigating the developed shoreline, watching for boat traffic in the bay, and recognizing that consistent wind is the main limitation. Summer thermal winds may provide occasional usable sessions.
