modelled
A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it. Good for comparing places, weaker for one beach.
Modelled from weather reanalysis on a 10–25 km grid (2022-2024), not a ground station: reliable for trade and synoptic winds, understates thermal sea breezes and valley winds. The typical daily max and the direction are columns of the table above, month by month. Highlighted months are the riding season from the spot record.

Rider tips
- Rig on the free stretches of the spit, away from the sunbed-and-bar section and its swimmers.
- Keep well clear of the Keramoti-Thassos ferry approach; the spit starts at the port.
- Leave the shoreline birds and the wetland toward the Nestos alone; the delta is protected and rigging there is asking for trouble.
- Parking at the beach is free; without a car it is the bus toward Xanthi, then a taxi or a walk.
- Nobody has published wind numbers for this beach, so carry a range of kites and expect to guess.
Getting there
Airport
Kavala International Airport 'Alexander the Great' (KVA); the distance from the airport to Keramoti is unconfirmed.
Route
About 35 km from Kavala. The long-distance bus toward Xanthi gets you close, then it is a taxi or a walk to the beach; driving via Keramoti is the obvious alternative, though nobody has written up the route.
Staying
Rooms to rent near the beach; cafés and seafood tavernas in Keramoti.
No-wind days
Keramoti-Thassos ferry crossing; pine-forest walks and bird-watching along the spit.
