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.
