Overview

Bordubet is a spot located in a sheltered bay on the north shore of the Gulf of Gökova, between Bodrum and Datça (Muğla province, Turkey). The east-west oriented gulf channels the Meltem wind — a classic Aegean summer thermal wind — blowing predominantly from the west to north-west.

Wind typically picks up around 11am–12pm, builds steadily to 18–25 knots by mid-afternoon, then eases around 5–6pm. Consistent and predictable conditions, ideal for intermediate riders.
