Silloth Beach

Silloth Beach is located on the Solway Firth estuary in northwest England, facing west toward the Irish Sea. The spot features a wide sandy and muddy beach with industrial waterfront development immediately adjacent. The shallow, choppy water conditions and significant tidal flats visible in the imagery indicate this is primarily a lagoon-style beach break rather than open ocean exposure. With average wind speeds of 10 knots and only 30.6% wind reliability, conditions are inconsistent throughout the year. The minimal wave height (0.48m average) makes this spot unsuitable for wave riding, limiting appeal primarily to flat-water and freestyle enthusiasts. Best wind direction is northerly for side-shore conditions. The spot suits beginners due to shallow water and protected conditions, though wind scarcity is the primary limiting factor. Kiters should be aware of soft ground conditions, tidal fluctuations typical of the Solway Firth, and the proximity to industrial infrastructure. Water temperature of 10.5°C requires appropriate thermal protection.
