Datça

Datça is a beach break located on Turkey's southwestern coast along the Aegean Sea, facing west toward the Mediterranean. The spot features a sandy beach backed by agricultural land and forested hills that rise steeply inland. The water is extremely sheltered with minimal fetch, resulting in very small average waves and low wind consistency. The shallow nearshore zone and visible rock formations require careful navigation. Best conditions occur with north winds (0°), which blow parallel to the coast as side-shore. This spot is suitable for beginners and those seeking gentle conditions rather than progression. The low average wind speed (6.4 knots) and wave height (0.37m) mean sessions will be limited and conditions inconsistent throughout the year. The protected nature makes it ideal for learning basics, but kiters seeking regular, reliable wind and waves should look elsewhere. Summer months may offer the most stable conditions, though overall suitability remains marginal.
