About This Spot
Prasonisi is a distinctive dual-beach lagoon spot located at the southern tip of Rhodes island, where two water bodies meet creating a unique geography. The site features a narrow sandy channel separating two distinct water masses with contrasting colors and conditions. The northern bay shows calmer, sheltered water suitable for progression, while the southern exposure offers more challenging open-water conditions. The spot experiences moderate wind reliability (30.2%) with low average wave heights (0.97m), making it wind-dependent rather than swell-dependent. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°) providing clean side-shore coverage along the primary riding area. The shallow lagoon nature means water handling is relatively warm, but kiters must be aware of the narrow channel's current effects and variable depth. Suitable for intermediate riders comfortable with shallow-water techniques and variable conditions. Low wave energy means success depends entirely on consistent wind. The spot's unique geometry offers some natural wind channeling but also potential shadowing effects requiring careful positioning.
Hazards & Safety
shallow lagoon areas with soft sand bottom
narrow channel between two water bodies creating complex currents
rocky outcrops visible on southern headland
variable water depth transitions
potential for wind shadowing from surrounding landmass
