Coos Bay North

Coos Bay North is a protected bay system located on the Oregon coast, featuring a sheltered lagoon connected to open ocean waters. The spot comprises two distinct water bodies: a calmer, shallow lagoon on the eastern side and more exposed bay waters with ocean swell on the western perimeter. The coastline orientation toward the northwest creates natural shelter from dominant westerly winds. Side-shore conditions occur with northeast winds (45°), providing the safest setup for kitesurfing. The visible vegetation and multiple access trails suggest established use patterns. Water conditions are moderate with average waves around 2 meters, though swell exposure varies significantly between lagoon and ocean-facing sections. This spot suits intermediate riders seeking protected conditions with moderate challenge. Key considerations include navigating shallow lagoon areas, timing tides for optimal depth, and avoiding rocky outcrops along the coast. The very low wind reliability (1.8%) suggests this location experiences limited consistent kitesurfing windows and may require patience for suitable conditions.
