Technical details of Gomati spot

Spot functioning

Launch from the long south-facing sandy beach. In Meltemi (NE/ENE), the wind is side-shore — excellent conditions for riding along the coast. In S/SSW wind, onshore conditions. Possibility of riding in lagoons in moderate wind for flat water conditions. The long beach offers plenty of space and multiple launch options.

On the water

Moderate to sustained chop in open sea depending on the Meltemi. Flat water in the lagoons. The open Aegean fetch can generate swell in strong wind. In moderate side-shore Meltemi, pleasant conditions with manageable chop. Clear northern Aegean water.

Required level

Intermediate

Spot opening date

Open all year round

Parking

Access from the Thracian coastal road. Parking on dirt tracks or natural areas near the beach. Wild zone — sometimes sandy terrain, beware of getting stuck. Bring water and provisions.

Hazards

Potentially very powerful Meltemi — assess your skills carefully. Current along the coast in strong wind. Swell possible in sustained Meltemi. Wild and isolated area — sail with a buddy. Limited mobile coverage. Lagoon areas with muddy bottom — beware of getting stuck.

Wind specificities

The Meltemi (NE/ENE) is the dominant summer wind, blowing powerfully from June to September. In this Thracian zone, the Meltemi has a more easterly component than in the central Aegean, arriving side-shore to side-onshore on the south-facing coast. S/SSW winds offer a secondary regime during weather systems. The straight and open coast receives wind without obstacles, offering laminar and consistent conditions. Lagoon areas behind the beach can offer flat water conditions sheltered from moderate wind.
