Forecast and webcams

Before you go

Forecasts often disagree. When Windguru, ALADIN and Windy agree, it is worth going.

Tips for this spot

Offshore wind carries you away from land. Do not ride it without a rescue boat.
When a storm is coming, get out of the water and land the kite at once. Gusts before a storm are violent and a kite overhead is the highest point around.
New spot: ask locals about shallows, currents and where people launch.

In riders' own words

„Na Rhodosu funguje pouze západní vítr“
„je méně kiterů tzn. více místa.“
„Kombinace písku a kamenů vhodná pevná obuv.“
„Lze parkovat na parkovišti na jižním cípu spotu.“

„Kombinace písku a kamenů vhodná pevná obuv... Po 5 metrech je hned hloubka“
„Místní škola vyhání z bezpečnostních důvodů ne-kite lidi, ale pláž není soukromý pozemek.“
„Po 5 metrech je hned hloubka, ale fouká jen na pláž nikdy od Pláže. Lepší spot je Prasonisi tady fouká o 2-3 m/s méně“
„vhodná pevná obuv... tady fouká o 2-3 m/s méně, ale je méně kiterů tzn. více místa.“
