About This Spot
Lefkandi is a shallow bay on the western coast of Evia Island, Greece, facing southwest into the Euboean Gulf. The spot consists of protected waters bordered by agricultural land, scattered residential development, and a sandy/silty shoreline typical of gulf environments. The bay configuration provides natural wind protection but severely limits wave development and wind strength. Average winds of 5.7 knots with only 3.6% reliability make this a marginal kitesurfing destination. Water remains flat year-round (0.05m average). Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds blowing across the bay as side-shore. This location suits only flat-water learners and is better suited for other watersports or during rare strong wind events. The shallow bay limits hazards from exposure but offers minimal performance opportunity. Local geography suggests occasional thermal winds may provide brief riding windows during summer months. Accessibility appears reasonable given nearby residential areas.
