Chambers Bay is a sheltered bay located in Puget Sound near Tacoma, Washington. The coastline faces south with the water body extending southward into the inlet. The bay is surrounded by residential development, golf courses, and commercial infrastructure, creating a protected but confined water environment. This is an inland bay setting typical of Pacific Northwest coastal geography.
The spot features moderate depths with visible shallow zones and mudflats. Infrastructure development limits fetch distance and wave generation, resulting in primarily wind-driven conditions rather than swell. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that provide side-shore flow parallel to the bay orientation.
Chambers Bay suits beginner to intermediate kiters seeking protected, shallow-water conditions with minimal swell. The confined bay reduces wind consistency and wave exposure compared to open ocean spots. Low wind reliability (0.8%) indicates this location receives infrequent strong wind days. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas requiring careful edge control and the proximity of built infrastructure. Water temperature averaging 11.9°C requires thermal protection year-round.
