Beach and Tide Conditions
Mc D's Beach, Kuwait is a
Flat and Chop spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
The beach is pretty nice with yellow sand, though that sand can hurt in the summer since it gets very hot. There is usually some trash on the beach (wrappers, plastic cups, picnic trash, etc.). There is tons of space to launch safely or keep your kite on the beach. There is a rock groyne that is downwind when the wind is a northwesterly.
The water is salty and murky. The spot is usually choppy, although it might get a bit flat between the rocky wave breakers.
