Widemouth Bay

Widemouth Bay is a west-facing beach break located on the north Cornwall coast of southwest England. The spot features a long sandy beach with consistent Atlantic swell exposure and rough water conditions typical of this region. The bay is bounded by residential development to the south and agricultural land inland, creating a defined coastal setting. With average wind speeds of 11 knots and 36.4% reliability, conditions are variable. The best wind direction for side-shore kitesurfing is east (75°), which allows parallel wind flow along the beach. Average wave heights of 1.66m provide modest conditions suitable for intermediate riders. The spot is accessible but moderately challenging due to water roughness and rocky features along parts of the shore. Entry and exit require attention to shallow areas and rock hazards. This location suits intermediate kiters seeking reliable Atlantic swell with manageable wave size. Winter months typically offer stronger winds, though seasonal variation is significant.
