New Golden Beach (Tserdakia) is one of the most famous windsurfing and kitesurfing spots in the Cyclades, located on the east coast of Paros facing the Naxos channel. This beautiful golden sand beach benefits from the N/NNE Meltemi channeled between Paros and Naxos, offering powerful and consistent side-shore conditions. The spot is world-renowned in the windsurf community and has hosted international riders for decades. Several professional water sports centers operate on the beach.
New Golden Beach works with the N/NNE Meltemi side-shore channeled between Paros and Naxos. Several professional water sports centers (windsurf, kite, wing, foil) share the beach. Dedicated zones for each activity. Side-shore wind requires upwind ability — not a pure school spot. Moderate to strong chop depending on strength. Works from June to September.

The N/NNE Meltemi is channeled in the Paros-Naxos canal (8-10km wide), creating a powerful acceleration effect. Wind arrives side-shore from the left on this east coast. Typical strength of 20-30 knots in summer, among the windiest conditions in the Cyclades. Wind is remarkably steady and laminar thanks to the channeling. Reliable season from June to September, with 80%+ windy days in July-August. One of the historic windsurfing spots worldwide.
Very strong wind 25-30+ knots regularly. Side-shore wind pushing toward Naxos — upwind mastery essential. Strong tiring chop. Current in the channel. Dense nautical traffic (windsurf, kite, wing, boats). Strong sun and reflection.
