Best Season for Kitesurf In Kenya and What to bring

Best season for kitesurf in Watamu

JC Kite School is located inside the Watamu Beach Cottages Resort . The spot is located right on the beach.

A combination of consistent winds and five kilometers long stretch of white sandy beach makes Watamu an ideal kitesurfing spot either for beginners or for experienced kiters.

There are two wind seasons in Watamu:

- Kaskazi Season (December - April) , when the winds blow from north east at about 15-20 knots.

If you plan to visit during the Kaskazi season, bring :

- a swimming costume or board shorts

- small to medium kite sizes (9m to 14 m)

- summer clothes

- suncreams, the sun hits quiet hard this time of the year

- Kuzi season (July – September) , the windiest time of the year. During the Kuzi season, the wind blows from south-east at least at 20 to 25 knots . With Kenya being at the level of the Equator, these winds tend to be extremely consistent . The fact that the wind blows cross onshore, makes the place almost an example kitesurfing destination.

If you plan to visit during the Kuzi season, bring :

- a rash vest, or a shorty wetsuit

- your smaller kites (up to 12 m)

- mosquitoes repellant

- summer clothes plus a hoodie/jumper for the cooler nights (sometimes wet nights too as it can be raining at times)

The air temperature can reach 36°C during the Kaskazi season, but in Kuzi, it is a little cooler. Water temperatures remain at 25-30°C all year round.

And most importantly bring your smile and good vibes.

Sea you on the water!

Kitesurfing spots in Watamu

There are 5 main kitesurfing spots in Watamu.

1. Watamu Beach (Our spot)

Watamu Beach is also the most popular of the kitesurfing spots in Watamu. The beach stretches for about 5 km along the cost. The water is mostly flat with with few waves and patches of coral reef. This setup works really well even for low tides. Wind consistently blows cross on-shore in both Kaskazi and Kuzi seasons.

2. Jacaranda

Jacaranda is considered as one of the world’s top flat water kitespots. This spot is the best on neap tide and works great in both Kaskazi and Kuzi wind seasons with consistent cross on-shore wind.

3. Short Beach

Short Beach has its name after .. you guessed it, being short. But if you like a bit of an easy wave, this spot has your name on it. It works best on Kuzi season, water usually stays just about a waist deep. Short Beach sits just on the tip of Mida Creek. When the tides are low, you can cut through around the rocks from Garoda Beach to access it, otherwise the longer way around.

4. Mida Creek Sandbar

Going inland from the sea into the Arabuko Sokoke Forest, there’s a bit of a hidden gem, a broadwater tidal creek surrounded by extensive mangroves and lined with palm trees. The 30+ km2 creek is home to many species birds, fish and feeding sea turtles.

The sandbar sits right in the heart of this creek. Speak to one of the kitesurfing schools on Kite Beach and check it out, best on low tide. It is a great experience not to be missed.

5. Che Shale

This spot is a little bit of a trip from Watamu and due to being a bit hidden around the coast, located right on the doorstep of Che Shale hotel. The perfect spot for beginners and pros; an uncrowded and vast beach, reliable wind and a variety of conditions from flat water to wave riding.

A paradise of white sand on the Indian Ocean

Kenya is an incredible destination if you love kiteboarding, culture and nature. You will not only find awesome kiteboarding conditions , you will be able to explore and experience much much more.

Below the water is a whole other world, there you will have great snorkeling and diving amongst its reefs.

Above the water you will have great kitesurfing and windsurfing conditions . If you do not want to be on land or water - try skydiving!

Considered one of the best kitespots in the world, the charming little village of Watamu in Kenya, is also an interesting combination of a lot more attractions apart from kitesurfing.

In fact it is ideal for eco-friendly tourists , as well as for those who seek a quiet spot for swimming and sunbathing, but – hang on a minute – it is also a world heritage site and a protected area of a unique natural beauty.

Apart from the beach itself, we would suggest a stop at the mysterious Gede Ruins, a big medieval (12th century) Swahili-Arab coastal village and travel to the Grand Canyon of Kenya with this Hell's Kitchen half day trip where you'll enjoy unforgettable views of the rock formations.

Doesn’t it just sound amazing already?
