About This Spot
Teal Bay is a sheltered bay on the northwest coast of the United Kingdom, featuring a sandy beach backed by residential development. The coastline faces west into the bay, with the water body forming a natural amphitheater. The spot benefits from a relatively protected setting with gentle beach entry and shallow water near shore, making it accessible for learning riders. Best wind conditions arrive from the north (0°), providing clean side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The average wind of 7.9 knots is marginal for kitesurfing, and the 18.3% wind reliability indicates this spot requires favorable weather windows. Water conditions are typically choppy with modest 0.58m waves due to limited fetch. The shallow gradient and sandy bottom provide good safety characteristics for progression, though kiters should monitor tidal variations. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate riders seeking a protected learning environment rather than performance conditions. Access appears straightforward with nearby facilities, though residential proximity requires respectful use.
