Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Kitesurfing Kos
Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.2 km out (1 in 323). The sea is about 17°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 25°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at intermediate level the best month is usually July, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Mastichari. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.
