Kite Beach Alaçati

Kite Beach Alaçati is located in a protected bay on Turkey's Aegean coast, facing northwest toward the water. The spot features a sheltered shoreline with shallow waters and sandy/rocky transitions typical of Mediterranean coastal areas. The bay configuration provides natural wind acceleration from the northeast, though wind reliability remains low at 14% annually. Water conditions are consistently choppy with minimal wave energy (0.54m average), making this a flat-water riding location. The shallow bay layout and moderate temperatures (19°C average) create an accessible environment for skill development. Best conditions occur with northeast (45°) winds, which align side-shore to the northwest-facing bay. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water practice in a protected setting. Key considerations include timing visits for rare consistent wind windows, monitoring shallow water depths during launches, and being aware of the rocky shoreline features. The low wind reliability suggests this location serves primarily as a local spot rather than a destination venue.
