Jetty Island is located on a tidal river system in the Pacific Northwest, featuring a narrow strip of land between inland water bodies. The spot consists of shallow lagoon-like conditions with exposed mudflats and sandbars characteristic of tidal river environments. Water coloration indicates varying depths and sediment patterns typical of estuarine zones. The presence of vegetation and maintained structures suggests a managed access point. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the jetty alignment. However, the extremely low wind reliability (0.1%) makes this an unpredictable location for regular kitesurfing. The shallow, confined water and visible tidal features present challenges including strong currents and debris hazards. This spot suits beginners due to calm water characteristics, but consistent wind is rarely available. Kiters should be aware of tidal cycles affecting water depth and current strength, and should expect minimal wind on most days. Launch areas appear limited and congested.
