Mellieha Bay is a sheltered Mediterranean bay on Malta's northern coast, facing south toward open water. The bay is bounded by rocky headlands and populated coastline, creating a semi-enclosed water body with moderate protection from larger Atlantic swells. The spot attracts recreational boating traffic, visible as numerous anchored vessels throughout the bay. Wind conditions are best from the east (side-shore parallel to coast), providing safe passage along the beach without blown offshore. Average wind speeds are modest at 7.5 knots with low reliability (14.4%), requiring patience for consistent sessions. Water conditions feature rough chop rather than organized waves, making this primarily a freestyle or flat-water spot. The bay's shallow areas, rocky formations, and boat traffic limit this to beginner-friendly conditions where riders can practice in calm, protected conditions. Best suited for learners developing core skills, with experienced kiters finding limited challenge. Summer months offer warmest water temperatures around 20.7°C. Respect designated boating zones and check local regulations before launching.
