Overview

Kalamitsa is a spot on the south coast of Skyros, a Sporades island in the western Aegean. The Meltemi (N/NNE) is OFFSHORE on this south coast, limiting rideability in summer. The spot works in southerly wind (SE to SW), more frequent in spring and autumn. Skyros is mountainous in the south (~790m) creating complex wind effects. Reserved for advanced riders.
