Hazards

Shallow flat water requires careful attention to depth and potential underwater obstaclesVariable wind directions (SSW, E, WSW, SW, NE) can create unpredictable conditions and require quick kite adjustmentsLow average wind speed (10.3 kts) means many days are marginal; check forecasts carefully before traveling

Launch notes

The flat water and open beach access make launching straightforward, though the low average wind speed means you'll need to launch efficiently in light conditions. SSW and E winds tend to be most consistent; launch perpendicular to the dominant wind direction.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring larger kites (15-17m) given the 10.3 kt average wind speed; a directional board or small wave board works well for flat water progression and light-wind conditions.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is appropriate for most months; thicker protection (5/3mm) recommended for winter months (Dec, Feb). Water temperatures moderate seasonally in the Black Sea region.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users in the shallow bay area and maintain clear communication with fellow kiters. Keep a safe distance downwind as the flat water and light winds concentrate riders in closer proximity.

Additional notes

This spot's 91 windy days annually concentrate around Dec, May, Feb, Jun, and Sep—plan your visit accordingly. The flat water is ideal for beginners to build technique without wave interference.
