Leasowe

Leasowe is located on the Cheshire coast in northwest England, facing northwest into the Irish Sea within a sheltered bay. The spot features a shallow water system with visible tidal flats, sandy beaches, and man-made coastal structures (groynes) that provide some protection but create navigational considerations. The area sits in an estuarine environment with relatively low wave heights (0.59m average) and choppy water conditions typical of enclosed bays. Wind reliability is notably low at 25.7%, with average winds of 9.7 knots, making consistency a challenge. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore access. The shallow water and protected nature make this suitable for beginner and early-intermediate kiters looking to develop skills in calmer conditions. Water temperature averages 11.1°C, requiring seasonal thermal protection. Tidal considerations are critical here due to significant mudflat exposure at low tide, which can restrict usable area and affect water depth dramatically.
