Bettystown

Bettystown is a beach break located on the east coast of Ireland facing the Irish Sea. This is a sheltered coastal area with residential and commercial development immediately behind the beach, featuring parking facilities and maritime infrastructure. The spot experiences a side-shore wind from the north or south given the eastward-facing shoreline. With average wind speeds of 9.4 knots and reliability of only 23.4%, conditions are marginal and inconsistent. Wave heights average 0.5m, making this suitable primarily for light wind practice and skill development rather than progression. The shallow, choppy water and proximity to populated areas make this a beginner-oriented location. Water temperature averaging 10.9°C requires appropriate thermal protection. This spot works best during winter Atlantic storm systems when northerly or southerly winds strengthen, though such conditions remain infrequent. The protected nature and consistent infrastructure make it accessible for learning, but kiters should expect limited wind windows and modest wave development. Check local wind patterns before committing time to this location given low wind reliability statistics.
