Newburgh

Newburgh is situated in the Ythan Estuary along the northeast coast of Scotland. The bay faces northeast with a protected water body formed by the river's interaction with tidal forces. The spot features shallow, muddy conditions typical of Scottish estuaries, with a complex system of tidal channels visible in the satellite imagery. The residential area immediately adjacent to the water limits the practical riding area. Wind reliability at 27.4% suggests inconsistent conditions. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) providing side-shore conditions. The shallow water and tidal flats make this suitable primarily for beginners and those practicing in flat water. Kiters should monitor tidal cycles carefully, as water depth changes significantly and mudflats become exposed at low tide. The narrow fetch and river current patterns create choppy, variable conditions rather than organized swell. Access appears limited due to residential proximity. This spot works as a secondary location for light-wind practice rather than a primary destination.
