Constanta
type: TouristAttraction
description: Constanta is the hub of Romania's emerging surf scene—a historic Black Sea port city where dedicated locals have carved out a wave-riding culture against all odds. The Black Sea's limited fetch means waves rarely exceed 2 meters and periods stay short, but when E-NE winds blow across the 950km open water, surfable conditions materialize along the sandy beaches. The ancient city, founded as a Greek colony 2,600 years ago, offers culture, nightlife, and nearby resort options. No sharks, no crowds, no ego—just pure surf stoke in an unexpected setting.

  swell physics:
    explanation: Swell direction must be within the workable range AND within the spot's coastal orientation. A south-facing beach cannot receive north swells, no matter the size or period.
    optimal direction degrees: 90
    workable range min: 45
    workable range max: 135
    sweet spot size m: 1.15
  wind physics:
    explanation: Offshore wind (blowing from land toward ocean) grooms the wave face. Onshore wind (blowing from ocean toward land) destroys wave quality. Wind tolerance varies by wave type.
    optimal offshore degrees: 270
    offshore range min: 225
    offshore range max: 315
