Mylor

Mylor is a sheltered bay located on the south coast of Cornwall, UK, situated along the Fal Estuary system. The spot features a northeast-facing coastline with a working mooring field of sailboats covering much of the water. The surrounding landscape transitions from residential development and green fields to a rocky, indented shoreline. The bay's primary characteristic is its protected nature, making it suitable for intermediate riders seeking manageable conditions rather than high-wind sessions. The moored boat fleet creates both a navigational obstacle and a visual indicator of wind patterns. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (around 315°), which provide side-shore flow across the bay. Wind reliability is relatively low at 31.3%, with modest average conditions (10.4 knots, 0.83m waves). The rough-chop water indicates moderate boat traffic or tidal interaction. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating obstacles and working within space constraints. Launch points appear limited to designated beach areas between residential zones. Water temperature averages 12.3°C, requiring appropriate cold-water gear. Tidal considerations and local mooring regulations should be verified before sessions.
