Songjiho Beach

Songjiho Beach is located in a protected bay on South Korea's eastern coast, facing northeast toward open water. The bay is characterized by a wide sandy beach backed by residential and industrial development, with a rocky island formation offshore and a lagoon system visible in the northern portion. The spot functions as a sheltered bay environment rather than exposed open ocean, which moderates wave conditions. With average wind reliability of only 18.9% and light swell (0.83m), this location offers calm, controlled conditions suitable for beginners and light-wind progression. The moderate average wind speed (8.6 knots) suggests side-shore conditions from the northwest (315°) would be ideal, providing safe offshore setup and beach access. Kiters should account for the shallow lagoon areas, moored vessels, the rocky formation to the northeast, and industrial port activity. The spot is best suited to novice kiters seeking flat-water practice or very light-wind sessions. Water temperatures averaging 12.8°C indicate seasonal variation with colder winter conditions.
