Severn Beach

Severn Beach is located on the Severn Estuary in southwest England, where the River Severn meets the Bristol Channel. This is a tidal river environment rather than an open coast, characterized by muddy flats and shallow water. The spot faces west toward the water body, with marshy vegetation and industrial infrastructure visible inland. Wind reliability is low at 17.2%, and average wind speed is modest at 8.4 knots. Wave conditions are essentially flat at 0.25m, making this unsuitable for wave-riding but potentially workable for flat-water kitesurfing or progression. The estuary experiences significant tidal flows that can create strong currents. Best wind would be from the north (side-shore parallel to the shoreline). This location suits only experienced flat-water kiters seeking light-wind practice. Water quality is poor due to sediment and industrial proximity. Accessibility and exit points are limited by vegetation and industrial facilities. The tidal nature means conditions vary dramatically throughout the day, requiring careful planning around tidal windows.
