Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the average 13.1 kt winds; a directional board or small waveboard suits the choppy conditions. Consider a larger quiver as wind can be light in summer months.

Clothing · A 5/4mm or 6/5mm winter wetsuit is essential year-round due to cold Atlantic water (8-15°C). Summer months allow 3/2mm suits, but thermal protection remains critical.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users including swimmers and surfers; Constantine Bay attracts mixed beach sports. Check local guidelines and stay clear of designated swim areas.

Additional notes

Check tide tables carefully as Constantine Bay's conditions vary dramatically with tidal flow. Visit during winter months (Nov-Mar) for most consistent wind and best wave riding conditions.
