Sürmene Voha Plajı

Sürmene Voha Plajı is located on the Black Sea coast of Turkey, positioned within a sheltered bay formed by the Rize River delta and surrounding topography. The spot occupies a transition zone between river outflow and open sea, creating variable water conditions. A major highway bridge with multiple support pylons dominates the bay, creating both visual landmarks and potential navigational considerations. The beach faces southeast toward the bay's open water, with gentle approach conditions typical of sheltered bays. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters due to light average wind (3.5 knots) and minimal wave exposure (0.41m average). Northeast winds provide optimal side-shore conditions. The primary challenge is variable water conditions caused by river discharge, visible in the satellite imagery as lighter-colored water in the northern section. Kiters should monitor river flow conditions and be aware of bridge infrastructure. The protected bay offers consistent conditions but requires understanding of local current patterns created by freshwater outflow.
