On the water
Flat to slightly choppy water in the channel. Sandy and gradually deepening bottom. Warm water in summer (24-26°C). The channel offers an elongated north-south riding area. Few waves thanks to mainland protection.
Parking
Parking in the Daphnila hotel area. Beach access from the coastal roads. In high season, parking can be limited near the hotels.
Wind specificities
Corfu's east coast is sheltered from the Maestro (NW) by the island itself. The wind here is mainly a N/NNE channel wind, funneled between Corfu and the mainland/Albania. This channel wind can reach 12-18 knots in fair summer weather. The strait creates a moderate Venturi effect that accelerates the northerly flow. In NE weather wind conditions, the spot can be windy with chop in the channel.
Hazards
Significant maritime traffic in the channel: ferries, cruise ships, shuttles. Stay clear of main shipping lanes. Currents possible in the strait in strong wind. Watch out for jet skis and tourist boats in summer.
