Kessingland

Kessingland is a beach break located on the east coast of England in Suffolk, facing eastward into the North Sea. The spot features a wide sandy beach backed by residential development, creating limited space for setup and landing. The shallow water conditions and visible tidal channels in the sandy substrate indicate variable bottom topography that can affect wave and current patterns. Wind reliability is notably low at 29.5%, suggesting this location is only viable during specific meteorological conditions. Average wind speeds of 10.3 knots and small waves (0.60m) indicate this is a mild-condition spot suited for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water or small-wave practice. The choppy water type suggests frequent onshore wind influences. Best conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The proximity to residential areas and limited beach access make this spot better suited for local kiters familiar with the area. Winter months typically offer more consistent wind patterns. Kiters should verify local regulations and beach access permissions before visiting.
