Jurata

Jurata is a coastal kitesurfing spot located on the Baltic Sea coast in northern Poland, situated within a sheltered bay formation. The spot features a sandy beach backed by extensive residential development and forest, with a clear breakwater structure protecting the inner bay area. The northeast-facing coastline creates a partially enclosed bay environment with relatively shallow, choppy waters typical of Baltic conditions. Best wind direction is northwest (315°), providing consistent side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. With average wind speeds of 11.3 knots and modest wave heights around 0.63m, this spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking flat-water progression. The low wind reliability (39.3%) means sessions may be infrequent. Visible water discoloration suggests occasional algal blooms that can affect visibility and water conditions. The proximity of the breakwater and shallow bay bottom requires careful navigation. Water temperatures average 10°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. Best suited for skill development in controlled, shallow-water conditions rather than advanced wave riding.
