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 Crete Falassarna
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 22°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 33). The sea is about 16°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Kissamos. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
