THE WIND
The wind in Alacati is an accelerated meltemi that is funnelled through the hills. A local thermal effect caused by the dry hills heating up increases the strength. It has wind the whole year, with the strongest and most reliable in summer.
THE WINDSURFING
Alacati is blessed with a shallow area that extends to 500m from the beach. Combined with flat water, this makes it the perfect place to improve technique and for slalom blasting. It also means that it is suitable for a whole range of abilities at the same time. It is an ideal place to learn to waterstart. The other side of the bay is 1.5km away and has several small beaches. The wind can often blow for a large part of the day with the strongest in the afternoon.
