About this spot
SurfinGR documents kite use at Schinias on winter southerlies with onshore wind and 12–30 knots, south-west giving smaller waves, and summer north-east described as offshore or side-offshore; the guide explicitly warns that direct south creates a "washing machine" effect and does not recommend the bay for beginner kiters in that direction, steering them instead to a separate Schinias Forest launch. A second descriptive account calls that forest beach shallow and sandy, favouring south and south-west from October to May, and says summer swimmers make kiting impossible there.
No verified coordinate exists for the forest launch, so the marker here is an OpenStreetMap approximation for the Schinias area rather than a surveyed launch point, and an additional atlas flags protected dunes and vegetation without establishing the permitted rigging corridor. The guide's apparent "11–25 bft" strength field was treated as a typo and not used.

Needs local verification: Coordinate: OpenStreetMap place marker for Schinias; the separate forest launch the guide recommends has no published coordinate. Coordinates are approximate spot markers, not surveyed launch points. Wind safety and operating limits remain unknown; no ride or kite-size advice is issued. Sources confirm only the facts explicitly attributed to them.
Local hazards
- "Washing machine" conditions in direct south — beginners advised against the bay
- Summer swimmer congestion reported on the forest beach
- Protected dunes and vegetation; permitted rigging corridor unverified
- Summer north-east is offshore
