Davenport is a beach break located on the central California coast south of Santa Cruz, facing northwest toward the Pacific Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with rocky reef structures in the nearshore zone, backed by agricultural land and coastal bluffs. The coastline orientation creates a northwest-facing exposure with variable fetch conditions. Side-shore winds from the southwest (220°) or northeast (40°) would provide the safest riding conditions, though the area suffers from extremely low wind reliability at 6.3%, making consistent sessions uncommon. Average winds of 6.9 knots are marginal for kitesurfing. The water remains cool at 13.6°C year-round, requiring thermal protection. Waves average 1.92m with rough, choppy conditions typical of exposed Pacific beach breaks. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with unforgiving coastal conditions, cold water, and inconsistent wind. Rocky hazards and kelp beds require local knowledge to navigate safely. Access is available via Highway 1, but sessions are best planned during seasonal wind patterns rather than expecting regular conditions.
