Rhu Spit is a protected bay location on Scotland's Clyde estuary, characterized by a prominent sandy spit extending northeastward into deeper water. The spot features residential development on elevated terrain to the east and a marina facility on the eastern shore. The spit creates a natural barrier, forming a sheltered bay environment. Water conditions are generally calm due to the spit's protective effect, making this a beginner-friendly location with minimal wave exposure. The bay hosts significant boat traffic and mooring fields, requiring constant awareness of marine traffic. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°), which provide side-shore flow parallel to the bay orientation. However, the location suffers from very low wind reliability at 7.8%, meaning consistent kiteable conditions are rare. Cold water temperatures averaging 9.6°C require appropriate thermal protection. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water practice in a protected setting, though the unreliable wind and marine traffic necessitate careful session planning and observation of local boat activity.
