We are on Aegean cost
of Turkey and we profit from these exceptional weather
conditions; like 6 months of blue sky, warm sun, a climate
without dampness and the good wind called Meltemi.
This is a huge thermal system born in the Black Sea
and blowing down the Aegean. As soon as the temperature
start to get warmer, the thermal difference between
the sea water and the air gives us the constant wind
blowing sometimes 25 days per month.
The Meltemi season is from May till October; 6 months
of good conditions.
Fener beach is on the extreme south west corner of Bodrum
peninsula. This creates the strongest Meltemi's
around Bodrum and we also profit from the local thermic
acceleration and venturi system between the Turkish
coast and the nearby Greek island of Kos (max distance
6 miles).
There can be no wind at all around Bodrum and not even
in nearby Turgutreis but as soon as you get closer to
the spot and see the lighthouse you will be surprised
by the wind that you wouldn't have expected.
The windsurfing conditions are ideal for beginners and
intermediate in the mornings; usually force 3 to 4 and
practicable for every level.
The wind gets stronger between 11 and 12 o'clock in
the afternoon; force 5-6 and some days 7.
Nearby the shore the sea is mostly flat for the first
few hundred metres (which leaves a good practice area
for beginners) and gets into free ride conditions further
out.
Just little changes of wind direction give remarkably
different conditions. A few degrees change from
west to north can give flat seas or a turn to a more
west direction gives good waves. You can practice
different conditions on the same area. Choose
from small waves to a swell of 1 to 1,5m for jumps.
The water is warm: 20°C in May, 24 in August and
22 in October.
The below chart is based
on our own reports of the last 12 years.

than Bodrum Airport (60Km away) and Bodrum town (20Km
away)
