Grand Haven Beach is located on Lake Michigan's eastern shore in Michigan, USA. The coastline faces south toward the water, with the beach backed by residential development, parkland, and a marina facility. The spot features two prominent jetties extending into the lake, creating protected water between them. This is a lake-based spot with relatively shallow water near the beach and limited wind fetch compared to open ocean venues. Wind conditions are modest, with average winds around 9 knots and low reliability (21.7%), making it suitable primarily for lighter wind days. The protected nature of the jetties creates relatively calm conditions ideal for beginners and progression riders. Side-shore winds from the east (90°) or west (270°) provide the safest conditions. The spot works best with east winds when wind is available. Hazards include the jetty structures, marina traffic in the northern area, and shallow water requiring attention during water entries. This location suits beginner to early intermediate riders seeking protected, manageable conditions rather than advanced wave or wind challenges.
