Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Bayhead is located within a major commercial port bay with northeast-facing coastline. The spot consists of protected bay waters bordered by extensive container terminal facilities and industrial infrastructure on multiple sides. The water shows visible tidal patterns and sediment dynamics typical of busy shipping channels. The bay's enclosed nature provides some wind acceleration but limits wave development. Wind reliability is exceptionally low at 1.2%, indicating this location receives insufficient consistent wind for reliable kitesurfing conditions. The bay experiences heavy commercial traffic with container ships and cargo vessels regularly transiting through the area. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°) providing side-shore flow along the northeast-facing shore. Water temperature averages 21.6°C with modest wave heights around 1.8m. This spot suits intermediate kiters seeking protected conditions and light wind days, though hazards from commercial shipping traffic require constant vigilance. The port environment and low wind reliability make this location marginal for dedicated kitesurfing sessions.
