Benone Beach

Benone Beach is located on the north coast of Northern Ireland where the Roe River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a wide sandy beach with a river estuary creating dynamic water conditions. The river mouth generates observable current patterns and tidal influences that affect water movement. Average wave heights of 0.90m suggest modest swell exposure typical of this coastline. The beach faces north toward open Atlantic waters, making east or west winds ideal for side-shore conditions. Wind reliability at 24.3% indicates this is a seasonal spot dependent on Atlantic weather systems. The wide beach provides good launch space, though tidal range and river flow require attention to timing. Benone suits beginner to intermediate kiters seeking a sheltered beach environment with manageable conditions. The river estuary and shallow areas demand awareness of currents and tidal movements. Best sessions occur with easterly or westerly winds during mid-tide periods when river influence stabilizes.
