Understanding kite access rules
How to read tide gates, seasonal closures, and conditional access on kite spots.
Why access rules matter
Many kite spots are only rideable at certain tide heights or seasons. KitesurfGo lists structured access rules alongside live tide data so you know before you drive to the beach.
Closed vs conditional
A closed rule means kitesurfing is not allowed in that period or condition. Conditional rules mean you may launch if tide, wind, or other criteria are met — read the description carefully.
Check the spot page
Each spot page shows current access status, active rules, and local regulations from the community. When in doubt, ask locals or a school on site.
