With higher tides you can start the best from the beach between the Hard Rock Hotel and the Discovery Shopping Mall. Access to this beach is from the Kuta Art markets. This beach is very wide, with lots of room for launching and landing your kite. The raining season brings a lots of garbage and drift wood on this beach though.

Best months are between December and March. The wind in this season is not very predictable. Mostly rain fronts bring in wind. Best kite sizes will be between 16 and 10 sqm.

Rules |
Zones |
Don't get too close to the airport. Always make sure to keep paying attention to certain weather changes. The raining season can bring unpredictable weather. With medium tides and low tides you can start directly in front of Kuta Reef, at the beach in front of the Bali Hai Resort in Tuban. This beach is not very big, therefore we don't start from here with the higher tides!
