Chiasson Office (Ocean Side)

Chiasson Office is located in a sheltered bay along the Canadian Maritime coast, characterized by a long sandy spit extending into deeper water. The spot sits at the convergence of a river mouth and open bay waters, creating a protected but relatively narrow riding area. The coastline orientation toward the southeast means the primary water body faces that direction, with the spit running roughly northeast-southwest. This geographic setup limits fetch and creates choppy, short-period waves typical of bay environments. The spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to shallow water and protected conditions, though the weak wind reliability (16.9%) and very small average wave height (0.60m) mean sessions depend heavily on favorable weather windows. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds coming side-shore across the bay. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas, river current dynamics that vary with tidal cycles, and the confined space limiting recovery options. Water temperatures near 6°C require appropriate thermal protection. This location works best during stronger wind events when the low average wind speed becomes less limiting.
