Seapoint

Seapoint is a sheltered bay location on Dublin's coast facing northeast into the Irish Sea. The spot benefits from a natural harbor formation with promenade development along the shore. Water conditions are typically choppy with modest wave heights (0.53m average), making this a protected bay rather than open ocean exposure. The presence of a marina and harbor infrastructure provides wind blocking and creates variable conditions across different zones. With average wind speeds of 8.8 knots and low reliability (19.7%), conditions require patience and selective session timing. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected, shallow-water practice areas with urban amenities nearby. Key considerations include navigating around moored vessels and fixed structures, respecting harbor traffic patterns, and understanding that lee effects from surrounding urban development may create gusty or inconsistent wind. The bay orientation offers natural protection but limits wind window consistency. Local regulations regarding harbor use and designated water sports zones must be observed.
