Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions do not depend on Tide on this spot.
Lefkada / Agios Ioannis, Greece is a Shallow, Flat, Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The launching/landing area is reported to be of Big size.
The beach is facing Northwest. It has nice, smooth pebbles, but you can find big but smooth rocks as soon as you get in the water. Lots of space to launch your kite. This is a 5km sandy beach with no trees anywhere. Even in the back there is a lake. The beach is dirty, a lot of waste from sea. And also glass. Be careful.
In the summer when the thermal winds hit, it is flat water with a bit of chop. On North wind (6 Bft) waves variating from 0.5 m to 3m! Great place for wave riding. Winter with big waves. Due to big and dangerous rocks on most places in front of the beach too dangerous for kite beginners. There is current along the beach going North. Keep in mind when you come in trouble. Do not go out to far. Waves are due to bottom structure not really ridable. The stronger the wind, the higher the waves. Interval is short. At shore underwater smooth rounded very sleepery rocks, easy to get unbalanced. If you're a beginner, go body drag immediately when in the water to avoid the wave crashing point.
