Bridlington
active 6 years, 1 month agoBeach Admins
Kitesurfing at Bridlington is done at the South Cliff end of the beach. Anything North of the Spa is strictly off limits. Park at the park and ride and ride directly in front of it. Anything South of there is fair game.
The adjacent beach to the south, Fraisthorpe Beach is much more popular than Bridlington for kite surfing, but there are situations where Bridlington can be your best choice: High tide (there’s almost always a bit of beach left) and a SSW wind (due to the direction the beach curves around). During the summer months Fraisthorpe is the better bet, as Bridlington can become crowded.
Bridlington will work on anything from a NNE, clockwise around to a SSW, though it can be gusty on a pure Northerly as the wind comes over the town. The more easterly winds are usually the cleanest.
