About This Spot
Monciskes is a Baltic Sea bay spot located on Lithuania's western coast facing west toward open water. The site features a sheltered bay environment with sandy beach access backed by dense pine forest. The shallow, choppy water conditions and protected nature of the bay make it suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking light wind sessions. Wind reliability is notably low at 23.1%, with average winds of 9.4 knots—marginal for consistent kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The proximity of residential development and forest creates limited room for error or extended beach runs. Water conditions remain choppy due to bay confinement and moderate fetch limitations. This spot works best during seasonal wind patterns when northerly flows develop. Riders should assess local conditions carefully before committing, as low wind days are common. The spot suits kiters comfortable in shallow, enclosed water and those building foundational skills in mild conditions.
