Ledge Point
Best for kiting all year except May and June, with 55 to 92 % kite days. Water 18 to 24 °C.
A kite day has at least 3 hours of 12 to 35 knots (gusts up to 45) between 10:00 and 19:00, in daylight. Percentages are the share of such days in each month, counted over 9 years.
- Prime 60 % and more
- Good 40 to 59 %
- Possible 20 to 39 %
- Off under 20 %
- No data hatched
- Ringed: this month
Prime also needs a good month in at least 7 of the 9 years, so one freak year cannot make a month Prime. A month with 60 %+ but fewer good years shows as Good.
Confidence highClose model cell, both models agree on the season, 9 full years.

Conditions, checked against kite guides
Water state, flat areas, waves and whether schools teach here, from kite sources, not from satellite images.
- Waves are the main riding area.
- Breaking waves are normal in the season.
- Learning possible in parts: a flat area plus a wave zone.
- Small to medium waves over reef with the summer SSW sea breeze. Reefs are the main hazard; single kite source lists all levels.
Checked 2026-10-08, confidence medium (one kite source, or two that partly disagree). Sources: se.kiteforum.com.
