Batumi

Batumi is a sheltered bay location on Georgia's Black Sea coast, facing east into relatively protected waters. The spot features a harbor setup with visible breakwaters, port facilities, and regular maritime traffic. The eastward-facing coastline means side-shore conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds. However, this spot presents significant challenges for kitesurfing: extremely low wind reliability (1.0%), minimal average wave heights (0.53m), and busy shipping lanes create safety concerns. The shallow bay waters and port infrastructure limit maneuverability. Best conditions would require rare wind events from the north or south coinciding with marginally better swell. This location suits only beginner progression during optimal weather windows, but conditions are typically insufficient for productive kitesurfing sessions. Local knowledge regarding traffic patterns and seasonal wind variations would be essential before attempting to kite here.
