Wind Conditions for Windsurfing
The wind during the summer is usually light in the mornings, around 1 to 2 beaufort. This is a good time for beginners. The afternoon breeze kicks in between midday and 2pm, with winds generally in the 3 to 4 beaufort range. This continues until approximately two hours before sunset, when the winds drop again. The Meltemi blows for a few days per month, which gives you a morning wind of approximately 3 beaufort, and an afternoon wind of 4 to 5 beaufort. It is extremely rare for it to be too windy for windsurfing.

What to Bring for Windsurfing
 Your windsurf harness. Beginners don't need one, but experts do and we cannot provide them.
A wetsuit if you are planning to windsurf between October and April.
Sun cream. You don't feel yourself burning when you are out on the water. It can be bought in all the local shops.
A beach towel. Your hotel probably won't provide one.
Health and Insurance
Water sports can be dangerous, both for beginners and experts. Please ensure you have sufficient travel insurance cover for taking part in water sports, and bring your European Health Insurance card in case you need medical attention.

European Health Insurance Card. This replaced the E111 form. If you need any medical assistance whilst in Europe this card entitles you to free or reduced cost health care. You may still have to pay for prescriptions and medicines. The card is free from www.ehic.org.uk.
Travel insurance. Not all travel insurance policies cover you for sports activities. Please check your policy details and make sure you have sufficient cover for any activities you wish to undertake.
