Kythera · Ionian / Aegean crossroads
Where is the sea calm today?
Every Kythera beach scored and ranked from live wind, gusts and swell, weighted by which way the shore faces and how sheltered its morphology is — now, or any hour of the next three days. Includes only beaches accessible by land, a total of 38 beaches.
How the score works
- Wind direction vs. shore aspect. Offshore wind flattens the water; wind straight off the sea builds chop within minutes.
- Gust spread. A big gap between average wind and gusts means restless, unpredictable water.
- Morphology. Deep coves behind headlands (Avlemonas, Kapsali) absorb fetch and swell; open strands like Fyri Ammos do not.
- Shore gradient. Steep pebble banks turn small swell into shorebreak, while shallow sand flats damp it out.
