About This Spot
Mc Ds Beach is located in Kuwait's Persian Gulf coast, situated within a developed urban bay area with extensive harbor infrastructure visible in the surrounding region. The coastline faces northwest toward the gulf waters, creating a bay environment sheltered by development and breakwater systems.
This spot is characterized by exceptionally flat water with minimal wave activity (0.28m average) and very low wind conditions (6.9 knots average). Wind reliability of only 10.2% indicates that suitable kitesurfing conditions occur on very few days annually. The shallow bay waters combined with visible boat traffic from adjacent commercial and recreational harbors present navigation challenges.
The spot is technically accessible only during rare strong wind events when conditions align favorably from the northeast quadrant. Best wind direction would be northeast (45°) for side-shore conditions. However, the consistently poor wind statistics and flat water make this location impractical for regular kitesurfing. The area's heavy urbanization, breakwater obstacles, and shipping traffic further limit its viability. This spot is suitable only for absolute beginners practicing in minimal conditions, and realistically, kiters should seek alternative locations with more reliable wind and wave resources.
Hazards & Safety
Very low wind reliability (10.2%) - most days unsuitable for kitesurfing
Extremely small wave height (0.28m average) - minimal wave energy
Shallow bay waters - potential for grounding
Heavy boat traffic visible in adjacent harbors and shipping lanes
Urban infrastructure and breakwaters - limited space and obstacles
