Fort Shevchenko offers rare beach and point breaks with cold water and east winds shaping the surf.
Located in Kazakhstan along the Caspian Sea, Fort Shevchenko features exposed beach and point breaks that rarely produce surfable waves. The best conditions arrive in winter with west swells and east winds, creating short-lived windswells. Both left and right-hand waves form, though crowds are almost nonexistent. The frigid water requires a wetsuit, and water quality is generally poor, making it a spot for experienced surfers seeking solitude.
