Kite Point

Kite Point is a shallow lagoon spot located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, characterized by a narrow barrier island with protected water to the west and open ocean to the east. The spot features a wide sandy beach with shallow, flat water typical of lagoon conditions. The relatively low wind reliability (17.6%) and modest wave heights (1.06m) indicate this is primarily a flat-water kitesurfing destination suitable for freestyle and light-wind sessions rather than wave riding. The eastward-facing coastline makes northerly and southerly winds side-shore and ideal for safe progression. Visible infrastructure along the beach suggests this is a developed access point. The shallow depths provide safety margins for beginners but require awareness of tidal variations and sandbars. Water conditions appear relatively benign with choppy rather than rough conditions. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice in a protected environment. Key considerations include tidal changes affecting water depth, the narrow window suitable for launch and landing, and checking local conditions given the inconsistent wind statistics.
