Is Molos beach windy? Is it good for windsurfing?

Molos Beach can be windy, especially as it's on the eastern coast of Paros, which is exposed to the Meltemi winds in summer. While this makes it less ideal for sunbathing on very windy days if you don't like wind, the conditions can be good for windsurfing and kitesurfing. There's a small water sports center where you might be able to rent equipment or take lessons, though some sources say you need your own equipment.
