The spit changes shape with the wind: NE winds lengthen it, and a southerly floods it. That also tells you how exposed it is to wind from both sides. We have not confirmed the working directions, so use the forecast and ask riders at Yeysk.
Water & level
The Azov Sea is shallow and warm, with the sea warming up in early June and often chilly again by autumn. Treat it as flat-water practice, but expect the water level to move with the wind.
Launch & rules
Check access and current rules before driving out. In town, the end of the city spit is a danger zone because of strong currents, and organised areas have set limits you must not leave.
Watch out
Water level and spit shape can change quickly, currents at spit ends and cold water in the shoulder months. This is a short working guide: its wind and rule details are still being checked.
Forecast: 5 models side by side
Wind and gusts every 3 hours from five weather models, refreshed every hour. When the models agree, trust it; when they disagree, check the live stations before you drive.
