Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The recommended wind for kitesurfing at Greenport Jetty mainly comes from the SW, WSW, and W, creating a side-shore to offshore orientation depending on the rider's exact position. The water surface is generally flat to chop, protected by the jetty which reduces the impact of waves from the open sea. Tides influence the depth: at low tide, the bottom is closer, while at high tide, the depth increases, allowing for freer navigation.
The launch area is located near the jetty, with easy access from the parking lot. The take-off zone is situated slightly back, providing a secure space to prepare the kite. A local feature is the natural protection of the jetty, which creates more stable wind conditions and a less choppy water surface than neighboring spots.
