About This Spot
Levee is a bay-side kitesurfing spot located along the Texas Gulf Coast near protected waters. The spot features an eastward-facing coastline with containment levees and managed waterways typical of industrial/agricultural coastal areas. The sheltered bay environment produces choppy, small-wave conditions (0.63m average) with limited fetch. Wind reliability is low at 9.6%, with average winds of 7.9 knots requiring patience and selective session timing. Northerly winds provide side-shore conditions parallel to the eastern coastline. The shallow, protected nature of the bay makes this suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters learning in forgiving conditions. Water temperatures average 22°C year-round. Key considerations include shallow areas requiring attention to launch/landing zones, variable water depth across the bay, and the industrial setting with nearby infrastructure. Sessions work best during high-wind periods when Gulf systems move through the region. This spot is ideal for progression in controlled conditions rather than advanced wave riding.
