Looking at Saturday, October 17

Go · Meltemi · 10–17 kn · 09:00–20:00

Go
“Go”: a rideable window long enough to count. “Marginal”: it might work, not for long enough to promise. “No wind”: nothing rideable today. “Not yet”: too far out, or the models still disagree. Drawn as an outline, never a colour. The small line underneath says where the number comes from: which models, whether they are corrected against wind measured at this spot, and whether what you see was measured or forecast.

Meltemi stays in your range from 09:00 to 19:00.

Hour by hour
Each bar is one hour's forecast, coloured by your range: solid inside it, amber just short or gusty, muted outside. On a day nothing reaches your range, nothing takes a colour: there is data, and it is honestly short. Gusty hours are demoted: when the jump between mean and gust is big, an in-range hour shows amber. Here the spread, not the average, decides the day.

The cape at the end of the bay is rocky and the water often has swimmers in it, even in the wind. One side is kept for swimming: launch and land away from them and ride out from the shore.

On the big days the Meltemi here reaches 35–40 knots and is gusty. Size for the gusts, not the average.

Mikri Vigla is Naxos’s kite beach, about 16 km south of Chora on the west coast facing Paros. A golden granite hill with cedars splits it in two: to the north Parthena, where the Meltemi blows side-onshore and shallow flat water spreads behind a sandbar; to the south Limanaki, the sheltered side for swimming.

Full track record

Measured, never assumed: every forecast is frozen when published and scored against wind measured at this spot. The figure is the average error over recent measured sessions here, and no other spot's number is ever borrowed.

About this forecastModel ensemble · tuned on 198 measured sessions here · forecast, not measured

No openly available high-resolution weather model covers this spot (some commercial sites run private local models). The forecast runs on continental and global models, which resolve the coastline more coarsely; expect a wider margin than at a spot with a local model.

No live wind sensor here yet. The number above is forecast, not measured.
