Overview

Park on the street and take an easy .6 mile walk to the beach. A skateboard or bike will get you to the launch quicker.

SW – N would work. With North you may experience a wind shadow from the Port and Aircraft carrier, but, I think you could work around it. There seemed to be a bit of a dead zone close to the south end of the Port of Everett dock.

Avoid kiting when the tide is >+4 (guesstimate) for smoother riding conditions.

Beach Notes.
1. The pilings in the water are not a problem, but, will intimidate a beginner.
2. I spoke with a Port of Everette employee. He suggested we stay south of the Port of Everette dock to keep the Port and navy happy

It is your responsability to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
