The Meltemi
The Etesian / meltem: a strong, persistent N/NW wind over the Aegean in July–September, often Force 5–7 for days, building through the afternoon, raising big seas. It favours a southbound boat (wind behind you) — ride it, but be ready to shelter when it overcooks. Spring and autumn are gentler windows.
Synoptics
Highs and lows, isobars (tighter = stronger wind — the pressure gradient is the force), fronts, Buys-Ballot.
Local effects
Afternoon sea breezes; katabatic gusts off high coasts and islands; acceleration zones where wind funnels between islands and around headlands, often double the open-water strength.
Tools
Windy (GFS/ECMWF, GRIB), PredictWind, the Turkish State Meteorological Service (MGM) marine forecasts, NAVTEX, VHF weather broadcasts, and a barometer — watch the trend, not the number.
