Lechaio kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Launch from the north-facing beach, mix of sand and pebbles. In Vardaris (E/NE), the wind is side-shore from the right — parallel riding along the shore with good tacking conditions. In northerly wind, classic onshore conditions. Open sailing area on the gulf with 10-15 km fetch to the north. The enclosed gulf offers flatter conditions than in open sea.

Short and moderate chop channeled through the gulf. The limited north-south fetch (10-15 km) prevents large wave development. In strong Vardaris, more pronounced chop in the east-west axis. Relatively flat water, excellent for foiling and wingfoiling. No ocean swell.

Access from Corinth via the road leading to the ancient port of Lechaio. Parking available along the coastal road or in areas near the beach. Archaeological zone nearby — respect the marked areas.

The Vardaris (E/ENE) is the dominant wind, channeled through the long east-west Gulf of Corinth corridor. At Lechaio, in the eastern part of the gulf, the Vardaris has travelled the entire corridor and reaches full power, offering steady and sustained wind. North/northwesterly winds cross the gulf to arrive onshore. The Ponentes (W/WNW) arrives from the western end of the gulf, often weaker in this eastern part. Reliable afternoon thermals in summer, reinforcing the Vardaris.
