Wind forecast for Lefkada & the Ionian Islands
Lefkada, Meganisi, Kalamos and Kefalonia make up the most relaxed sailing area in Greece: short hops, plenty of sheltered bays and a predictable daily wind. Mornings are usually calm; from around midday the Maistro fills in from the north-west and blows force 3–5 until the evening.
Late summer and autumn bring thunderstorms that can produce sudden, violent gusts. The Thunderstorms layer in Full Sails shows where the model sees storm energy building.
