Molos Skyros

Molos on Skyros is a bay-facing spot located on the eastern coast of the island in the Aegean Sea. The protected bay configuration creates a relatively sheltered environment with shallow water near the shore transitioning to deeper water offshore. The spot is bordered by cultivated land and scattered development, with visible rocky features on the southern headland. Wind reliability is low at 25.3%, and average wind speeds of 9.2 knots suggest marginal conditions for consistent kitesurfing. The choppy water state (0.68m average) indicates mixed swell patterns typical of protected Aegean bays. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking lighter wind conditions and reduced wave exposure. The limited fetch and bay geometry mean stronger winds are needed to generate quality waves. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow. Kiters should monitor shallow water zones near shore and be aware of the rocky southern point. Low wind reliability means sessions may be sporadic, requiring patience and flexibility in session planning.
