Bandon is a kitesurfing spot on Oregon's south coast, famous for its spectacular rock formations (sea stacks) that dot the beach. These wave-eroded rock pillars create one of Oregon's most photographed coastal landscapes. The beach is wide and exposed to Pacific swells, with Face Rock as the most iconic formation. Northwest thermal winds are reliable in summer. Bandon offers an exceptional natural setting for kitesurfing.
Open all year round
Advanced
Cold water year-round (10-14°C), 4/3 wetsuit essential in summer, 5/3 in winter. Waves of 1 to 2.5 meters with powerful Pacific swell. Mixed sandy bottom with numerous rocks (sea stacks) creating permanent obstacles. Complex currents around rock formations and the Coquille River mouth to the north. Tides significantly change the navigable space around the rocks.
Ubiquitous sea stacks (rock formations): permanent collision danger, ride with extreme caution. Face Rock and other formations create complex currents and turbulence zones. Proximity to the Coquille River mouth to the north: powerful currents. Very dangerous sneaker waves. Massive driftwood. Very cold water risking hypothermia. Tourist area: watch for photographers and walkers on the beach.
