Alacati is a natural playground for kiteboarders and windsurfers thanks to its wide, shallow bay and the meltem, a seasonal climatic system that creates great wind throughout the summer, from May-September, but often in October too. The meltem wind is strong and stable - great for kiteboarders and windsurfers! It's reliable too, with over 25 windy days a month during the summer.
In summer, the meltem wind starts like clockwork at 10-11 am, strengthening during the afternoon to 4-5 Beaufort, before dying out at sunset. But it is not uncommon for the wind to get up to 5-7 Beaufort, and continue blowing day and night for a week or more. Small kite days!
Off-season the wind is more variable but the weather is still warm in April/May and October/November. Even in December the kiteboarding conditions can be excellent. There are some great kiteboarding spots on the Cesme peninsular for freestyle and wave riding. You will have the place to yourself too!
We recommend June and September for kiteboarding in Alacati, when the wind is good for kiteboarding and the weather is great! Plus we will discount kiteboarding course prices by 10% before 15th June and after 15th September.
