About This Spot
North Point in Alaçati is a shallow bay on Turkey's Aegean coast, characterized by turquoise, choppy water protected by surrounding terrain. The bay faces northwest into the Aegean, with a narrow entrance and gradually shelving sandy/rocky bottom. The spot benefits from consistent Etesian winds that funnel through the bay during summer months. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than well-formed due to the enclosed bay geometry and shallow depth. The narrow coastline and visible road suggest limited development, making this a relatively uncrowded location. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds that provide side-shore to side-onshore angles. The shallow, protected waters and modest wave heights make this suitable primarily for beginners and early-intermediate riders. Strong tidal currents and shallow areas require local knowledge. Wind reliability remains low at 14%, indicating seasonal variability. Water temperature around 19°C suggests spring or autumn conditions. This spot works best during the Etesian wind season when consistent thermal winds develop across the Aegean region.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water near shore
Scattered rocks and reef structures visible in turquoise zone
Strong tidal currents typical of enclosed bays
Limited fetch distance may reduce wave development
Road infrastructure close to launch areas
