Tuz Gölü

Tuz Gölü is a large salt lake in central Turkey with a developed lagoon-style kiting area on its western shore. The coastline faces west toward the water, with shallow, sheltered conditions typical of enclosed salt lake systems. The spot features a beach break setup with residential and commercial infrastructure lining the shoreline. Wind reliability is low at 32.4%, and average wind speeds of 10.1 knots are marginal for consistent kitesurfing. Water conditions are choppy with minimal wave development due to limited fetch distance. The salt lake environment requires consideration for equipment care. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice in light winds, though conditions can be unpredictable. Best winds approach from the north, providing side-shore conditions. Riders should be aware of shallow depths, variable water quality, and the developed shoreline which limits launch and land zones. Most suitable during spring and autumn when wind patterns are more favorable.
