Revere Beach, Massachusetts (USA)

The winds vary at different times of the season. Great for beginners to experts. Winds tend to vary 10-20mph. South and SSW is the best direction. SSE is excellent. N and NE are great with waves. NW winds are gusty and inconsistent stay away from this spot in those conditions. Off season it is not recommended to kite there as the water get very cold and winds are usually off-shore.

The weather is anything at anytime but usually best in summer. Best kiting is in June to August. In May you tend to get rain but some 'wicked cool' kiting days 'awesome' in June to July. Kiting season at this spot is good April to September. Better June, July and some of August, September rocks. Water temperature varies. December 42°F. January to March very cold, frozen mid March, low 40's°F. April: 40-50°F (steamer suit works fine 5/6 mm). May:50-55°F. June: 55-65°F depends on the weather and gulf stream. Easterly winds predominant this time of year and that brings in the warmer waters from the Gulf Stream up the coast.

Water quality is moderately clean. Used to be very dirty but Revere is in close proximity to the Deer Island Water Treatment Plant. The water tends to get better every year. The only downfall to the water quality is after a rainstorm as a lot of the Revere Boulevard storm drains empty out into beach area. The surface of the water varies. There can be chop and sometimes waves. Waves are predominant in easterly winds or after off shore storms. Low tide water can become shallow and flat in spots due to sandbars. Expect a long walk to deep enough water from the kite set-up area however, there is a tide pool thats about 1-2ft deep at mid-low tide, makes for flat waters. At high tide the water can get choppy and has small waves. The further out you go away from the beach the surface condition of the water can gen large swells on an outgoing tide due to a neighboring inlet and saltwater marsh area. Waves only during and after a storm and they break close to shore. You can ride them only at high tide.
