Raferty Dam is a freshwater lake spot in Saskatchewan, Canada, created by damming. The water body is relatively sheltered with distinct embankment structures visible in the satellite imagery. The shoreline faces west toward the water, making north-south winds ideal for side-shore kitesurfing conditions. The spot features shallow areas near the shore with deeper water in the central basin. The surrounding terrain is predominantly flat prairie grassland with agricultural areas visible to the south. This location suits beginner to intermediate kiters due to the protected water body and lack of ocean swells. However, the spot presents challenges: extremely low wind reliability (16%) makes consistent riding sessions unlikely, cold water temperatures require proper thermal protection, and the dam infrastructure creates potential hazards. The shallow transition zones near shore demand careful launch and landing areas. Best conditions occur with northerly winds, though these are infrequent. Water conditions are typically flat, making this suitable for pure freestyle and trick practice rather than wave riding. Local weather patterns and seasonal variations significantly affect viability.
