Cyclades Islands is the most challenging sailing area in the Greek seas. Main factor that defines wind force in summer months is the 'meltemi', the northern wind that blows, from early July to mid August, usually around 5 Beauforts, with gusts that can reach up to 8Bft. The wind blows stronger during mid day, so we advize you to travel early in the morning, in order to avoid the strong wind. Wind direction is purely north, or North West.
Big waves can be also caused by the meltemi. The waves start forming from the North Aegean coast and build up as they travel the long distance to the Cyclades, so they can become pretty tall as they reach these islands, up to 3-4 meters.
Having said that, the proposed itinerary is designed for sailing on the west-south Cyclades, where the winds are sometimes strong and last long. Those who prefer a smoother and more relaxing sail should avoid July and August. On the other hand, those who enjoy sailing in strong winds, will appreciate the challenge to experience true sailing.
