About this spot

Lesbos's own tourism portal places the kite centre at the north end of Sigri Bay rather than at the village swimming beach, and documents instruction for beginners and professionals there; Extrados independently advertises Sigri-based kite instruction with radio assistance and a safety boat. SurfinGR reports 15–30 knots, sometimes stronger, with June–September highlighted and N/NW/NNW preferred, described as side-shore to side-offshore; Kiteguide gives 15–25 knots building around lunchtime over flat water, with gusts close to shore.

No source publishes a measured standing depth or a launch coordinate for the kite sector, so the beginner flag rests on Kiteguide's flat-water description and the documented teaching operation, not on a walkable-depth survey. Knot figures are source descriptions, not verified operating limits, and the side-offshore component of the direction means a rider should confirm the active sector, rescue cover and swimmer separation with the centre before launching.

Amenities

  • Sigri Surf at the north end of the bay (per the island tourism portal)
  • Extrados kite instruction with safety boat

Needs local verification: Coordinate: OpenStreetMap marker for Sigri village; the tourism portal locates the centre at the north end of the bay, so this is an approximate bay-area marker. 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

  • Hazards have not been surveyed — absence of a documented hazard list does not imply safety
