Coastal character
Ovabükü (Datça) is assessed within the Muğla coastal records. It is one of Datça's widest and most spacious stretches of coast.
Open-sea exposure, cove shape, and natural shelter are considered separately because they can change how the same wind feels at the shore.
Beach-specific data record
Ovabükü (Datça) is stored as a separate coastal point for Muğla. Registered coordinates: 36.6828, 27.5517; shoreline reference angle: 180° (South).
The registered seabed value is Sand and Pebbles. The name and mapped shoreline suggest a more sheltered coastal setting, so wind direction can matter more than raw wind speed.
Editorial and source note
This page combines the stable Ovabükü (Datça) beach record with live weather and marine values instead of copying a city-wide forecast.
Weather values are queried from Open-Meteo, and Windy gfsWave can be used as the primary marine reference when available. The interpretation is reviewed as an informational coastal guide, not as an official safety bulletin.
Seabed and entry
Recorded seabed: Sand and Pebbles. Pebbles may shift underfoot as waves arrive. Enter steadily and consider water shoes if your feet are sensitive.
Seabed type alone never guarantees safe swimming; shore break, current, and visibility can change during the day.
Reading the report
Sea state, estimated wave height, average wind, gusts, and wind direction should be read together.
Estimated wave height is not a direct shoreline instrument reading; it is an interpretation of official data sources and coastal character.
Before you go
There is no single best hour that is correct every day for Ovabükü (Datça). Recheck the report shortly before traveling because wind direction and strength can change.
At the coast, visible wave behavior, flags, and lifeguard instructions always take priority over the online estimate.
Practical notes
Facilities, parking, showers, and lifeguard coverage may change by season and should be checked locally.
Bring drinking water, sun protection, suitable footwear, and flotation support where needed.
