Punda Kite Beach
Greece · Égée-Méridionale
Punda Kite Beach, located on the west coast of Paros facing Antiparos, is a must-visit kitesurfing spot in the Cyclades. This narrow passage between the two islands creates a venturi effect that boosts the wind, perfect for intense sessions.
The beach is about 1 km long with fine sand and shallow water in the first meters, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced riders. There are several kite schools and a friendly atmosphere with well-equipped centers.
The spot is popular for its consistent conditions and its proximity to Paroikia, just a few kilometers to the south.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The main wind is the northern Meltem, blowing starboard side-shore on the north-south oriented beach. This venturi effect in the 1.7 km strait between Paros and Antiparos strengthens the wind to an average of 12-25 knots, with stronger gusts in strong meltem.
Launching is easy thanks to a wide beach and a flat shallow bottom over 80-100 meters, ideal for rigging and relaunching the kite. The navigation area extends about 600 meters of smooth water, then downwind to Antiparos in a quick ride, in less than 8 minutes for independent riders.
North of Punda, a wider area offers long runs to avoid the crowd in the central lines. In strong wind, you can play in the small waves; in light wind, it's perfect for foiling. Tides have little impact, the water remains flat to light chop most of the time.
