Aegean Coast · Turkey
A true windsurfing paradise on Turkey's Aegean coast
THE DESTINATION
Alaçatı is one of the world's best windsurf learning destinations. A huge shallow bay with warm water, an easy beach entry and mostly flat conditions makes it an incredibly safe and forgiving place to learn, improve and build confidence, while reliable Aegean thermal winds keep you powered day after day. Off the water, Alaçatı's old town delivers the best of the Aegean: stone houses, windmills and some of Turkey's finest food culture, just a short walk away.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The wind when we're there
Sailing wind: 2+ hours in a row of 11+ knots, or gusts of 16+, between 11:00 and 19:00. Source: Open-Meteo, 2023-2026. Measured, not our estimate.
Wind is nature, not a promise. We can't guarantee it. But Alaçatı stacks the odds in your favour, and we plan every day around the forecast to chase the best of it together.
