About This Spot
Psalidi Kite Beach is located on the northern coast of Kos island in the Aegean Sea, facing northeast into a protected bay. The spot features a sandy beach with residential development inland and a visible shallow lagoon system. Water conditions are typically choppy with modest wave heights averaging 0.49m. The bay's enclosed nature provides some wind protection but limits wave development and fetch distance. Best conditions occur with northwest to north winds that provide side-shore to slightly offshore angles. Wind reliability is notably low at 14.4%, making consistent sessions unpredictable. Average temperatures around 20°C and wind speeds of 8 knots suggest moderate thermal conditions. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected, sheltered conditions with manageable chop. The shallow lagoon area requires awareness of water depth in specific zones. The proximity of residential areas means kiters should be mindful of local usage patterns and potential restrictions.
