Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 6 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Lligwy Beach is located on the north coast of Anglesey, Wales, featuring a sheltered bay with extensive sandy areas and visible tidal sandbars. The bay opens northward toward the Irish Sea, with residential development and caravan parks occupying the southern shoreline. The beach is characterized by shallow, choppy water conditions typical of UK coastal areas, with moderate tidal influence. The spot receives 10.2 knots average wind with relatively low reliability (33.2%), suggesting inconsistent conditions. East to northeast winds are optimal for side-shore conditions at this location. The shallow bay and sandy bottom make this suitable for beginners during favorable wind days, though low wind reliability and choppy water can be limiting factors. Kiters should be aware of residential proximity, variable wind patterns due to nearby terrain, and tidal variations affecting water depth and hazards. Best sessions occur during spring tides with consistent northeastern winds.
