Samyang

Samyang is a bay-style kitesurfing spot located on Jeju Island, South Korea. The coastline faces northeast into a protected bay system with two distinct coves separated by rocky outcrops. The spot features developed coastal areas with harbor infrastructure to the north and agricultural land inland. The bay setting provides natural wind acceleration and side-shore conditions when northwest to north winds prevail. Water conditions show rough-chop characteristics typical of Korean coastal waters. Average wind of 11 knots with 36.7% reliability indicates moderate consistency, requiring patience for session planning. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with variable conditions and navigating around shallow coves and rocky features. Best conditions occur during northwest wind events, providing parallel flow along the northeastern-facing shore. The proximity to harbors and commercial operations demands awareness of boat traffic. Narrow riding corridors between rocky outcrops and variable depths require local knowledge and respect for the environment.
