Gündoğan

Gündoğan is a sheltered bay located on Turkey's Aegean coast in Muğla Province. The spot features a northeast-facing shoreline with moderate residential development surrounding the waterfront. This is a protected bay environment with a man-made breakwater at the entrance, creating a semi-enclosed lagoon-like setting. The spot offers calm, choppy water conditions suitable for beginners due to limited wave development and reduced fetch distance. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (around 315°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Water temperatures average around 19.6°C. The very low wind reliability (8.9%) and modest average winds (6.6 knots) suggest this is primarily a light-wind spot, making it ideal for progression and freestyle practice rather than wave riding. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas near shore, the breakwater structure, and potential boat traffic from the developed waterfront. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected conditions and predictable, manageable water.
