Pretty choppy water and expect a current that will also make hard to generate speed if your underpowered.

The kitebeach is located between the tower 28 and 29, at the junction between Venice Beach and Santa Monica. Because of the heavy crowds during the summer and on weekends, lifeguards have SOLE discretion on allowing you to kite, no matter how windy it is. Always ask them before setting up! If you disregard their orders, they will call the cops on you. Stay way clear people (two kite line lengths) when setting up and launching, also of swimmers once you launch off the beach. When kiting, stay outside of the surf zone. Do not show off by doing jumps near the shoreline, this is the fastest way to see yourself in handcuffs and down at the SM jail.

All year long, the wind blows between 8-10 knots. The wind direction is normally blowing onshore making difficult to get out. During fall and spring time you can catch some good clearing winds blowing between 20-30 knots. Like everywhere in southern California, the wind season really starts in the summer time.

From LAX, take Lincoln Boulevard north, direction Santa Monica. Then make a left on Ocean Park Boulevard, direction West (towards the ocean). The kitebeach is located between the tower 28 and 29, at the junction between Venice Beach and Santa Monica.

You have to launch and land your kite between the tower 28 and 29.

It's Santa Monica! You have a lot to do at night.
