Beach Users: |
July, August |
In strong winds the sand is all over the place. It gets really crowded, especially in July and August. If you go further down the beach you will find bird's nests, avoid that area, because the smell is really awful.

Thermal winds during summer. When it is sunny, 99% change of wind. Good winds: West, Northwest, North. The summer here is the best time to go kitesurfing. Can ride from May until October almost every day. Thermals every day! Only 10-15 days in August the wind drops a bit and you need your big size kites. Best time to get here is in June and July. Best wind less people on the beach! General wind directions: onshore and sideshore. Winter not that often wind and a bit gusty too. Overall more gusty than Milos beach.
