Llandwyn Bay

Llandwyn Bay is a sheltered bay located on the western coast of Anglesey in North Wales. The spot features a westward-facing shoreline with extensive sandy beaches backed by mixed deciduous forest. The bay is characterized by shallow water with visible sandbanks and tidal features that shift seasonally. Wave conditions are typically small and choppy due to the bay's enclosed nature and limited fetch. Wind reliability is moderate at 33.5%, requiring patience for consistent sessions. Average winds of 10.2 knots support recreational kitesurfing. The spot is most suitable for beginners and early intermediate riders due to manageable conditions and absence of hazardous reef or rock structures. Water temperatures average 11.3°C year-round, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Primary considerations include monitoring tidal movements that affect water depth and sandbar positions, respecting residential areas, and accounting for the bay's natural shelter which creates variable wind patterns. Side-shore winds from the north or south are ideal; prevailing patterns suggest north winds offer more consistent conditions.
