About This Spot
Lake Iskar is an inland freshwater lake located in Bulgaria. The satellite imagery shows a relatively sheltered water body with vegetation-covered shoreline visible in the upper right corner. The northeastern-facing shore provides limited wind acceleration and exposure. The lake's enclosed nature restricts wind patterns and wave development. With average wind speeds of only 3.8 knots and zero percent wind reliability, this spot operates well below minimum kitesurfing requirements (typically 10+ knots). Best wind would come from the northwest (side-shore for the NE-facing coast), though such conditions appear rare. The shallow shoreline areas and potential underwater hazards typical of inland lakes present additional safety concerns. This location is unsuitable for regular kitesurfing practice due to consistently inadequate wind resources. The low temperature (10.9°C) would require thermal protection during colder months. Kiters should seek alternative locations with more favorable and consistent wind conditions.
Hazards & Safety
Very low wind reliability (0.0%) - marginal conditions
Low average wind speed (3.8 knots) - insufficient for kitesurfing
Shallow areas visible near shoreline
Potential vegetation or reeds at water edges
Limited fetch distance due to lake size
Unknown underwater obstacles and submerged hazards
