Where to kitesurf around Ithaca

[Evankurzman]

hi all,

Recently moved into the area from New Jersey. Where are the popular kitesurfing launches and in what winds? Would love to go when other are around as I don’t like to goto a new spot for the first time with no one else there.

When there is wind from the NW, just go and you’ll meet someone.

Thanks Geoff, Any advice for southwest? Aka this Saturday.

That’s a bad direction around here.

N end of Seneca is doable but not great once it’s beyond SSW, same for Cayuga. Haven’t sailed there, but I think Long Pond in Rochester aligns with a SW. Only other option is Southwick Beach, a 2 hr drive from Ithaca.

One might think Oneida at Sylvan Beach, but Oneida is unfailingly light when it’s SW.

The Ithaca area has no good options for anything from SW to WNW.

Sorry!
