Miyazaki, Japan

Miyazaki Bay on Japan's southeastern coast offers a protected bay environment facing west toward the water. This bay-style spot is characterized by relatively shallow, calm conditions with small average wave heights of 1.20m. The coastline orientation suggests a west-facing shore, making northerly and southerly winds side-shore compatible for safe kitesurfing operations. This spot suits beginners due to its protected nature and small waves, though wind conditions are inconsistent with only 23.2% reliability and marginal average wind speeds of 9.4 knots. The warm water temperature of 19.4°C provides comfort for extended sessions. Kiters should note that this location experiences frequent flat periods and low wind conditions, making it suitable primarily for light-wind wave riding or progression sessions rather than consistent training. The shallow bay waters reduce hazard exposure compared to open ocean alternatives, but require awareness of potential rocky features along the shoreline.
