Kitesurfing at Portland Harbour
CHECKING WIND
Flat water
Beginner-friendly
Portland Harbour, beside Weymouth on the Jurassic Coast, is one of the UK's best flat-water venues. The harbour walls shelter the water from swell, so south-westerly winds deliver smooth conditions that are ideal for learning, freestyle and speed. Home to a very active kite community and the national sailing academy.
Best wind directions: SW, W, SE
