Bingen is located on the Columbia River in Washington State, featuring a south-facing shoreline along the river channel. The spot is characterized by narrow river confinement with visible industrial development including dock facilities and warehouses on the western bank. The eastern shore shows agricultural fields and scattered vegetation typical of the Columbia River valley. This is a flat-water river location with minimal wave potential. Side-shore winds would come from the east or west, with easterly winds being more favorable for the orientation. The spot is suitable only for flat-water practice, with very challenging conditions due to extremely low wind reliability (0.1%) and marginal average wind speeds (4.9 knots). Strong currents from the river flow and potential industrial boat traffic present significant considerations. The narrow channel limits space for launching and maneuvering. This location is best suited for beginner-level flat-water training only, and only during rare high-wind events. The industrial setting and minimal wind make this spot impractical for regular kitesurfing.
