Weather

See Turkey.

For most of the time, even in settled weather, winds blow down the Strait from the N and can funnel strongly in the narrower parts. It is not advisable to attempt a transit up to Poyraz in strong winds from N unless your engine is exceptionally powerful. In the harbour, the winds come mainly off the land, although in settled weather a light seabreeze can set into the harbour from SW. This should be borne in mind if anchoring amongst other yachts in these conditions.
