About This Spot
Stoney Beach, Canada is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in Canada.
Situated in North America, the spot offers Shallow and Flat and Chop and Small waves water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With SSW–SW winds throughout the season, Stoney Beach, Canada delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
Winds are generally 10-15 kts SW when they are rideable. Don't get many days higher, but there are a few. Winds are not at all predictable as to when we are going to get them. Sometimes you can get 3 days in a row, sometimes you wait 2 weeks. Best and really only winds you can ride are SW to SSW and WSW which are pretty much onshore. Other directions if they occur are gusty and not steady as the area is surrounded by tall trees and a hill.
When to Go
Summer nice, wetsuit needed all year. Season from spring to autumn.
What to Expect
The water is both choppy and flat as in one section a river runs into the Ocean, keeping the waves down. Currents are stiff near the river going out to sea. Waves are often about 1m but can reach 2m in a good wind.
