Ozlen Beach

Ozlen Beach is located at a river delta on Turkey's southwestern coast, where a significant river system meets the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a characteristic delta formation with a teal-colored river channel visible in the satellite image, indicating substantial freshwater discharge and suspended sediment. The coastline faces northwest toward the water, with a wide sandy beach backed by scrub vegetation and scattered settlements. The delta environment creates dynamic water conditions with variable depths and currents where river and sea meet. Best wind conditions occur with northerly winds (around 15°) that run side-shore parallel to the main beach. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with variable conditions and river dynamics. Notable considerations include monitoring river discharge levels, which affect water clarity and current strength, and awareness of shallow sandbars that shift seasonally. Low wind reliability (2.4%) and modest average swell (0.57m) indicate this is best suited for lighter wind days when flat-water maneuvers are possible rather than wave riding.
