How this is modelled

Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.

Wind on the beach

  • The riding area is on the Laguna Madre side, so the shore faces west.
  • The dominant warm-season SSE and S flow is cross-offshore to offshore relative to that bank, which the shallow water forgives but beginners should not ignore.
  • Frontal N and NE wind pushes onto the bay shore instead.

What the spot record warns about

  • Extensive seagrass beds in parts of the Laguna Madre can foul boards/lines and make some areas uncomfortable to walk
  • Vehicle access to the main North Flats lot has been restricted pending a local permitting process - check current access before planning a trip
  • Reach the flats via pedestrian dune paths where vehicle access is closed
  • As of 2026, vehicle access to the traditional North Flats area is restricted; expect walking access through dunes unless a local update says otherwise.
  • Private/leased land and evolving city venue construction/permitting can change practical access quickly; verify with local shops or SPI Windsurfing & Kiteboarding Association before driving to the flats.
  • Seagrass beds are extensive in Laguna Madre and can catch fins, foils and lines; avoid trampling or scarring seagrass.
