About This Spot
Pantai Pulau Kambing is a protected lagoon spot located in Indonesia with a northwest-facing coastline sheltered by surrounding headlands and vegetation. The shallow lagoon environment with visible sandbars, mangrove areas, and rocky outcrops creates a confined water body suitable for flat-water practice. The spot features extremely calm conditions with minimal wave development and low wind reliability (0.3%), making it viable only during rare wind events. Average wind of 4.3 knots is insufficient for consistent kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with northeast or southwest winds parallel to the coast. The shallow, protected waters and abundance of obstacles make this spot suitable only for absolute beginners or those practicing technical flat-water skills, assuming wind is present. Kiters must be aware of tidal changes affecting water depth, navigate around sandbars and rocky areas, and respect the sensitive mangrove ecosystem. This location is better suited for learning fundamentals in extremely controlled conditions rather than developing riding skills.
