Levington Marina

Levington Marina is located on the Suffolk coast along the River Deben estuary in eastern England. The spot occupies a sheltered bay formed where the river meets open water, with the shoreline facing northeast into the bay. The marina facility dominates the northern bank with extensive mooring fields, while cultivated agricultural land and forested areas border the surrounding coastline. This is a protected estuary environment with choppy water conditions typical of shallow, enclosed bays. Wind reliability is low at 18.5%, and average wave height is minimal at 0.48m, making this unsuitable for wave riding. The spot functions primarily as a light-wind training venue for beginners. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) or southeast (135°) provide the safest conditions. The primary constraint is the dense boat traffic and moored vessels throughout the marina, requiring careful launch and landing site selection. The narrow river channel limits available water space and creates uneven wind conditions. Average wind of 9 knots suggests this spot requires lighter-wind kiteboarding equipment. Best suited for beginner progression in calm conditions with attention to maritime traffic.
