Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 6 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Centrair is located in Ise Bay, central Japan, where the Kiso, Ibi, and Nagara rivers create a protected bay environment. The spot sits adjacent to Centrair International Airport and a major industrial port complex, with extensive seawalls, breakwaters, and harbor infrastructure dominating the shoreline. The bay faces westward toward the open water, with very limited fetch and consistently flat conditions (0.26m average waves). Wind reliability is poor at 30.3%, with modest average winds of 10.4 knots. This is fundamentally a protected bay with minimal wave energy and restricted water access. While the shallow, calm conditions theoretically suit beginners, the spot is severely constrained by port operations, heavy commercial and airport traffic, industrial hazards, and seawall obstacles. The area is primarily a working port rather than a recreational kitesurfing destination. Local regulations likely restrict water access for safety and security reasons near the airport.
