Alaçatı

Aegean coast, Turkey

A true windsurfing paradise on Turkey's Aegean coast

Members★★★★★★★★★★4.2

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.

Alaçatı Bay

A huge, shallow, flat-water bay with one of the most reliable thermal winds in the Mediterranean. The meltemi-driven breeze builds like clockwork around midday and blows side-shore over warm, waist-deep water — an incredibly safe and forgiving place to learn, dial in your jibe or train freestyle. The ASPC centre at the head of the bay runs a huge fleet of current NeilPryde and JP gear, and Alaçatı's old town is ten minutes away for dinner.

Modeled estimate — coarse models can under-read wind-acceleration spots (Canaries, Tarifa…).

Modeled from Open-Meteo climatology at the pin — a guide, not measured on site.

It's the forecast model — in any wind app (Windguru, Windy…) you can pick which one to show. Not sure? GFS is the safe global default; the high-res ones (ICON-D2, AROME…) are sharper at coastal & thermal spots.
