Doug's Beach is located on a large inland lake in the Pacific Northwest, characterized by steep, forested terrain that drops directly to the shoreline. The coast faces south into the water body, with a visible commercial shipping lane occupied by cargo vessels. The spot offers relatively protected conditions typical of large lakes, with moderate fetch and consistent water access. Prevailing winds from the east would provide side-shore conditions, though the area experiences low wind reliability at 15.9% annually. Water temperatures average around 14°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The presence of active commercial traffic necessitates awareness of shipping schedules. The steep surrounding terrain creates variable wind patterns and potential gusts. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking flatwater practice with minimal wave exposure. The main limitation is inconsistent wind availability and the need to avoid commercial vessel traffic corridors during peak shipping hours.
