Budle Bay is a tidal lagoon and only works 2.5 hrs either side of high tide. It is almost entirely flat, especially in N wind, and only picks up chop in strong W wind. There are also sometimes tidal rips and bores that appear at varying states of the tide. On the north side of the lagoon the water is about 1-3 ft deep, so perfect flat water. The beach can be extremely narrow and tricky to launch from at high tide, sometimes not even enough to accommodate the width of a kite. Launching is OK though as the water is quite shallow and you can walk out to launch. At mid-tide there is quite a bit of space. There are some razor shells and so on, so need to be a bit careful. Picks up quite a breeze. Best in N, NW, NE or E. Does work in SW and W but very gusty. Does not work in SE or S. Standard UK weather ie you never know what it will do. Wetsuit necessary. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
