Spot de Lesvos | Plomari

Lesvos | Plomari

Lesvos | Plomari

Overview

Plomari is a spot on the south coast of Lesvos, facing the open Aegean Sea. This spot is for advanced riders only because the Meltemi (N/NNE), the dominant summer wind, blows OFFSHORE on this south coast, pushing out to sea. The spot only works in southerly winds (SE to SW), more frequent in spring and autumn. Plomari is known for its ouzo and beaches, but kiting conditions are demanding.

Wind specificities

WARNING: the Meltemi (N/NNE) is OFFSHORE on the south coast — it pushes out into the open Aegean, with no land to the south for hundreds of kilometers. Riding PROHIBITED in Meltemi. The spot works in southerly winds: SE (side-onshore from the left), S/SSE/SSW (onshore), SW/WSW (side-onshore from the right). These winds are associated with weather systems and are more frequent in spring and autumn. When southerly wind blows, it can reach 15-25 knots with swell.

Hazards

MAJOR DANGER: the Meltemi (N/NNE) creates offshore wind pushing out to sea — certain death without rescue. NEVER ride in northerly wind. Significant swell in southerly wind. Coastal currents. Isolated spot, no specialized rescue. Ride only with company, with communication equipment and VHF. Check forecasts before every session.
