Windsurfing conditions in Bulgaria

• The Black Sea, without any doubt, is a great place for the fans of windsurfing visiting Bulgaria. Several windsurfing competitions take place every year. Water is warm in summer and bright sunny days are abundant. Wind speed varies and in general is higher by the late afternoon.

• Some days there are plenty of wind and as result relatively high waves close to the shore. You will need a water start in order to cross the zone with waves and sail to open see. This kind of weather is not very good for beginners but intermediate and experienced surfers will enjoy the higher speed.

• You don't need special wetsuits most of the time but a short sleeve wetsuit will help you to keep your body warm when surfing early in morning or late afternoon and it will protect you from sunburns. Every major resort has several windsurfing clubs that provide equipment and renting a surf is not a problem. You can also hire a teacher and learn the basics pretty quickly.

When to go

• Summer is the preferred season, simply because the water is warm and there are plenty of sun, but early fall (September) and late spring also offer good surfing conditions. If you are an experienced surfer and enjoy high speed you will have better chances to have more wind in September than in July or August.
