Copper Harbor is located on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, situated in a protected bay on Lake Superior. The spot features a south-facing coastline with a developed marina area and residential community along the waterfront, backed by dense forest. The bay offers somewhat protected conditions compared to open Superior waters, though fetch is limited by the surrounding landscape. Wind reliability is notably low at 11.6%, requiring careful planning around weather windows. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with cold-water conditions and limited space. Best conditions occur with east or west winds that blow parallel to the bay entrance. Water temperature remains cold year-round, requiring appropriate exposure protection. Shallow areas near shore and rocky bottom present navigation hazards. The bay's narrow opening and surrounding terrain can create unpredictable wind dynamics. Summer months offer the most consistent wind patterns, though conditions remain variable.
