Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 6 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Dogfish Point is located in a sheltered bay in the Pacific Northwest, characterized by a northwest-facing coastline with shallow tidal waters. The spot features a forested shoreline transitioning to shallow bay waters, with visible tidal flats extending offshore. The protected bay setting provides calm, flat water conditions typical of the region, making this location suitable for light-wind and beginner-level kitesurfing. The extremely low wind reliability (4.4%) and minimal average wind (5.8 knots) suggest this is a marginal wind spot requiring favorable weather windows. Side-shore winds from the northeast provide the safest riding conditions. The shallow water and tidal flats limit the usable area and create obstacles that require local knowledge. Limited fetch and the enclosed bay configuration constrain wave development. This spot suits riders seeking calm-water freestyle practice rather than wave riding, and is best visited during peak wind season when conditions align favorably.
