Henna Island

Henna Island is a small peninsular settlement located on the coast of the Sea of Marmara in Turkey, forming a sheltered bay environment. The residential area occupies most of the available space, with dense housing developments backing directly onto the waterfront. The bay faces northeast into open water, providing some protection from larger ocean swells while limiting wind exposure. Water conditions are typically flat with minimal wave development due to the enclosed bay geography. Wind reliability is very low at 5.4%, making consistent sessions unlikely. This spot suits beginners due to flat water and protected conditions, though limited wind availability is a significant constraint. The shallow bay waters and proximity to residential areas and boat traffic require careful attention. Best winds approach from the northwest, running roughly parallel to the coastline. The tight urban setting and development pattern mean launching and landing areas are constrained. This location is better suited for light wind practice and learning fundamentals rather than progression or wave work.
