◍ Calculated automatically from the coastline

The orientation is derived automatically from the shore geometry in OpenStreetMap and has not yet been checked by a human. Help us confirm it — tell us below how accurate the forecast turned out.

Beach near the settlement of Mikro Nisi. It faces east, with a view of the sea. The type of shore is not recorded.

Wind & waves: when to go

Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.

The beach faces northeast. With southwesterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northeasterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The orientation is computed from the shape of the shore; how much its bay shelters it has not been checked yet.
