Spot
Ixia is the northernmost of the surf spots on Rhodes. The beach of Ixia is long, 20 m wide and often crowded. It consists of gravel and sand.
There are sun beds and parasols. The beach is too narrow but also too crowded for the launching and landing of kites.
The predominant wind direction is side-onshore. In the morning, the wind is weaker, making the conditions suitable for beginners. In the afternoon, the wind speed is increased by
thermal effects. During the summer, it reaches 4 to 6 Bft almost every day. Near the shore, you can find a narrow zone of shallow water.
