Bandon Beach
États-Unis · Oregon
Bandon Beach, located in Bandon on the southern coast of Oregon, is an exposed spot that attracts kiters for its long stretches of sand and consistent waves. It is a favorite among locals for its consistency in surf and wind, although summer can be calmer. There is a beach break with both left and right waves, ideal for combining kite and surf.
The spot stretches over a wide and uncrowded beach, perfect for downwind sessions from north to south. Conditions vary with tides and Pacific swells, offering a mix of powerful waves and flatter areas depending on the day.

Main winds come from the north or northwest in summer, creating a perfect side-on on this west-facing beach. In winter, south winds dominate, more onshore and gusty. Launching is easy on the wide sand, preferably to the north of the spot to go downwind to the south while chaining waves. The water is choppy to wavy, with waves from 1 to 4 meters depending on west or northwest swells. Be cautious of launch areas near the Coquille River, where you should avoid fishermen and choose a clear space. The best sessions occur with cross-offshore wind, typical of local forecasts.
