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
Bel Royal in St Aubins Bay is a sheltered bay location on Jersey's south coast, facing south toward open water. The bay features a wide sandy beach with gradual shallow water transition, backed by residential and agricultural development. The protected bay environment and shallow water make this primarily a wave-free spot suitable for flat-water practice and progression. Wind reliability is modest at 41.1%, with average winds around 12 knots. Easterly or westerly winds provide side-shore conditions, with easterly winds (90°) being more favorable. The spot suits beginners and early-intermediate kiters seeking calm, controlled conditions for learning. The shallow bay bottom and residential proximity mean the spot is best during periods of stronger wind to maximize water depth and distance from shore. Low wind days require patience, while wave action is minimal year-round. Local tidal movements affect usable water area and should be considered when planning sessions.
