About This Spot
Psalidi Natura Park on Kos island features a shallow lagoon system protected from open ocean exposure. The lagoon faces east toward the Aegean Sea, with a narrow coastal strip separating it from deeper waters. This is a protected nature area with residential development on its western perimeter. The spot suits beginner kiters due to flat to very small wave conditions (0.49m average) and sheltered waters. North winds (0°) provide the best side-shore conditions parallel to the lagoon's eastern shoreline. Wind reliability is low at 14.4%, making consistent sessions unpredictable. Water temperatures average 20°C. The lagoon's shallow nature and choppy conditions indicate limited fetch distance and protection from stronger oceanic swells. Kiters should be aware of the nature reserve status and potential environmental regulations. Best suited for light-wind practice and beginner skill development rather than progression training. Check local conditions and any access restrictions before visiting.
