Hazards

SANDBAR Punchy beach break — needs the sandbars to align, which happens more reliably in winter swell events.
SW SWELL ONLY Relies almost entirely on SW winter storm swell — summer is flat.
INFORMATION Very limited surf information for Turkey. Self-sufficient approach required — bring all equipment.
CROWDS Blue Flag tourist beach in summer, but essentially empty of both tourists and surfers Dec–Apr.
