Sanur - Kite Beach

Sanur Kite Beach is a protected bay on Bali's southeast coast, facing northwest into the Badung Strait. The spot features a sheltered lagoon with shallow turquoise waters, sandy beach access, and reef formations that define water boundaries. A jetty structure provides navigation reference and creates zones of different water conditions. The bay offers natural protection from large ocean swells, making it suitable for beginners learning fundamentals. Water depth varies significantly across the lagoon, with shallow areas near shore transitioning to deeper channels. Wind reliability is low at 0.5%, with average conditions around 4.8 knots being marginal for kitesurfing. Northeast winds (45°) provide ideal side-shore conditions for the northwest-facing beach. The spot works best during seasonal wind increases or alongside tidal flow. Local boat mooring areas require awareness, and reef hazards necessitate careful positioning. Residential proximity limits expansion and requires respectful usage. This location suits progression riders seeking flat-water practice rather than advanced wave riding.
