Attica, Greece
Sheltered beach on the Attica coast opposite Evia island, 53 km north of Athens. The narrow Euripos strait between Attica and Evia acts as a natural wind tunnel for east-to-southeast thermal winds, which build reliably from 13:00–14:00 and deliver 11–19 kt side-onshore to the sandy beach. Suitable for all skill levels; popular beginner school spot due to flat, shallow water and predictable afternoon thermal. Strong northerly Meltemi can overpower the thermal and make kiting impossible on some summer days. Season May–September.
Skala Oropou is city center, and central port, in East Attica, Greece, on the South Gulf of Euboea, due north of Athens city center. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Oropos, of which it is a community. It is part of Athens metropolitan area.

You've already got wind data — the hard part is knowing what it means for you. Most kiters end up checking two, three, four apps and still asking: can I actually go? Breeza was built by a kiter who had the same problem. Feed it your gear, weight and level and it tells you if Skala Oropou is rideable right now. The answer, not the tabs.
