No wind · NNW · 4–5 kn

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 20:00.

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 northerly runs side-shore to side-offshore here: close in, in the lee of the bay, it can turn offshore and gusty (the spiliades). Stay upwind of the club and do not let the channel carry you away from the beach.

Pounda is a narrow strip with schools shoulder to shoulder and the Antiparos ferry leaving the pier every ~45 minutes. Give lessons room and stay clearly out of the ferry lane.

Golden Beach is a kilometre of golden sand on Paros's south-east coast, right at the exit of the Paros-Naxos channel, where the Meltemi runs clean. It is Greece's most famous windsurf spot: next-door New Golden Beach hosted the PWA World Cup from 1993. Flat water inside the bay, waves out in the channel, and on the island's other side sits Pounda, the kite strip facing Antiparos.

How good is this forecast±1.8 kn

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 455 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.
