Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Sigri is a protected bay located on the northwestern coast of Lesbos, Greece, facing southwest into the Aegean Sea. The spot features a shallow lagoon system with extensive agricultural land and residential development immediately inland. The bay's enclosed nature provides natural wind shadow and reduced wave exposure compared to open ocean conditions. Water conditions are typically choppy due to local wind patterns and shallow depths. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds (45°) that blow side-shore across the bay's southwest-facing coast. The spot is well-suited for beginners and early intermediate kiters due to calm, contained water and moderate wind speeds. The shallow lagoon environment allows for easy self-rescue and ground contact. Key considerations include variable bathymetry requiring awareness of depth changes, potential debris or vegetation in shallow areas, and limited wind window due to surrounding topography. Low wind reliability (18.1%) and modest average wind speeds suggest this is primarily a light-wind destination requiring patience for adequate sessions.
