Wind and water conditions
Local points to watch: boat traffic, swimmers, swell, rocks and submerged obstacles, wind and gusts, offshore wind, long distances and crossings, currents. Before launching at Dikella — beach, have wind, swell, currents, swimming areas and boat traffic checked, then confirm safety equipment and permitted limits, since this guide does not validate a navigable route. Watch for rock slabs beyond the water’s edge and wind blowing offshore. Check conditions on the day and keep clear of swimmers. Greek sea-use rules (SUP): stay within 500 m of the coast, operate only between sunrise and sunset, and wear an individual lifejacket. Use is prohibited in adverse weather; private use is also prohibited in reduced visibility or winds above 5 Beaufort (38 km/h), subject to stricter specific rules. Lower wind speeds do not guarantee safety. These rules do not establish permission to launch locally.
