Marmari Windsurfing
Spot
Our windsurfing center is located on the North coast of the island, which is known for its beautiful sandy beach and strong onshore winds. Thanks to the unique funnel between Kalymnos and Pserimos islands located in the North, our center benefits from reinforced winds that provide ideal conditions directly in front of our center.
The beach slopes gradually, providing shallow water up to 40-50m, making it ideal for barefoot surfing. With onshore wind, depending on the wind strength, a small wave is created that is usually no more than 50cm. The spot offers plenty of space on the water and feels incredibly safe due to the onshore wind, offshore islands and long sandy beach.
Meltemi
Meltemi blows from the end of May till the end of September. Unfortunately it has not been as constant in the last few years which could mean an occasional uneventful week. On good days 4-5Bft is normal before mid-day. Later in the afternoon the wind usually gets up again and can be up to 6-7Bft till sunset.
In general, the wind lasts for a few days but regularly calms down after sunset then comes to life again late next morning. The wind direction is diagonal and north-westerly towards the beach and comes from the right. On windy days the wave height can be up to a fabulous 1-1.5m and even higher towards the evening and further out.
There is very little current which adds to the safety factor, making it easy to get back to the beach. The most fantastic fact is the guarantee of good weather. Surfing always happens in warm water and definitely in the sun.
