About This Spot
Kombuthurai Beach is a west-facing beach break located on India's Tamil Nadu coast, offering protected nearshore waters with minimal swell exposure. The spot experiences weak offshore wind patterns from the east, with extremely low wind reliability at 6.9% and minimal average wave heights of 1.16m. This location suits beginner kiters seeking flat-water or very small-wave conditions, though consistent sessions will be challenging. The sandy beach with visible residential development provides direct shore access. Best conditions occur during northeast wind events (side-shore orientation approximately 0°), though such windows are infrequent. Water temperatures average 29.2°C year-round. The shallow nearshore waters and dense vegetation bordering the beach require careful assessment before launching. This spot functions best as a training ground during rare strong wind days rather than a reliable session destination. Kiters should verify current wind conditions and respect local regulations before visiting.
