Timbaki is a flat, sandy beach break on Crete's south coast facing west toward the Mediterranean. The spot features an extensive shallow lagoon system separated from open water by sandbars, with significant agricultural development inland. The coastline benefits from a direct westerly exposure but experiences very limited wind reliability and minimal wave energy, making conditions marginal for kitesurfing most days. Average wind of 5.3 knots is below the typical 12-15 knot minimum needed for reliable progression. The extremely light average swell (0.67m) indicates protected, sheltered waters suitable only for light-wind sessions. This is a beginner-friendly spot when wind does arrive, offering flat, spacious lagoon areas ideal for learning. However, kiters should expect long periods without rideable conditions. The shallow water and agricultural infrastructure create navigational constraints. Best suited for local kiters with access during rare strong wind events, particularly northerly and easterly flows that create side-shore conditions.
