Vouliagmeni

Vouliagmeni is a semi-enclosed bay located south of Athens on the Athenian Riviera coast. The bay faces northeast, with a crescent-shaped sandy beach surrounded by residential development on three sides. The water body is protected by surrounding land and offshore features, creating relatively sheltered conditions with limited wave generation and low average swell heights (0.34m). The spot functions as a shallow bay with moderate depth, characterized by choppy water conditions typical of Mediterranean protected waters. Best wind conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) providing reliable side-shore conditions along the northeast-facing beach. Very low wind reliability (4.6%) and modest average wind speed (5.6 knots) make this location better suited for light-wind conditions and beginners. The crowded residential setting, shallow approach, and boat presence require careful route planning and awareness of other water users. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected, mellow conditions during light-wind periods, though consistent strong-wind sessions are unlikely. Access is straightforward with established beach facilities nearby.
