Overview

Nakhodka is a kitesurfing spot in the port city of Nakhodka, on the Sea of Japan coast in Primorsky Krai, about 170 km east of Vladivostok. Nakhodka Bay offers a semi-sheltered water body.

The spot benefits from south and southeast monsoon winds in summer. The bay is wide enough to provide good fetch. The beach allows proper kite launching.

Season runs from June to October. Water is cold to cool (12-22°C), wetsuit recommended. The spot suits intermediate riders. Watch out for maritime traffic in this active port area.
