Lavrio

The spot mainly works with a wind from the north to northeast, sometimes broader depending on the periods. Navigation generally takes place on a flat to choppy water surface, without notable tidal influence. The area is interesting for clean navigation, working on maneuvers, and enjoying a readable spot, provided one remains attentive to the local organization of takeoff and the available space near the shore.

Launching generally occurs from a clear coastal area, with a departure zone that must be kept clean to avoid disturbing other users. The water surface is more comfortable when the wind is well established, as chop can form quickly depending on the orientation and strength of the thermal or synoptic flow. The spot is well suited for freeride practice, with fairly easy runs and navigation that remains generally accessible.

According to consulted sources, Ano Thoriko is a spot for all levels, but it is more enjoyable for independent riders when the wind picks up, as the shore zones can become more irregular. The relief of Attica and local exposure can also create small variations in wind near the coast.
