Coastal character
Patriça Cove (Ayvalık) is assessed within the Balıkesir coastal records. Located on Cunda Island, it has a sea so shallow that even after walking far out, the water barely rises above the knees.
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
Patriça Cove (Ayvalık) is stored as a separate coastal point for Balıkesir. Registered coordinates: 39.3825, 26.6833; shoreline reference angle: 0° (North).
The registered seabed value is Sandy. 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 Patriça Cove (Ayvalık) 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: Sandy. Sand can move with wave action and may hide changes in footing when visibility falls. Check the nearshore area carefully, especially with children.
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 Patriça Cove (Ayvalık). 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.
