Marazion

Marazion is a shallow bay on Cornwall's south coast facing west into Mount's Bay. The spot features a sandy beach with a gradual shelving profile, making it accessible for learners. Several rocky features are visible both in and around the water, requiring navigation awareness. The bay's orientation creates a relatively protected environment compared to open ocean exposure. Wind reliability is modest at 39.7%, with average winds around 11.5 knots—suitable for lighter riders and beginners but potentially underpowered for heavier athletes. Average wave heights of 1.34m indicate small, rolling swell typical of protected bays. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking a sheltered, forgiving environment. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions across the bay. Riders should account for tidal range affecting water depth and be mindful of rocky hazards. The proximity to populated areas and visible infrastructure suggests potential boat traffic during summer months.
