Fraserburgh

Fraserburgh is a northeast-facing beach break located on the Aberdeenshire coast of Scotland. The spot features a sandy beach with rocky terrain visible in the hinterland and shallow water extending from shore. The rough water conditions and visible tidal patterns suggest strong currents typical of this coastal region. Wave heights average 1.2m, making this suitable for intermediate kiters seeking smaller, manageable swells. Wind reliability is relatively low at 26.1%, requiring patience for suitable conditions. Average wind speeds of 9.7 knots are modest, necessitating efficient equipment and technique. The northwest wind direction (315°) provides optimal side-shore conditions for this northeast-facing beach. Water temperatures average 9.3°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. This spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with cooler water and variable conditions. Key considerations include shallow water awareness near shore, potential rocky hazards in the shallows, and the need to monitor tidal changes that affect water conditions and current strength.
