Carkeek Park is a kitesurfing spot in north Seattle, on the shores of Puget Sound. This public park offers a west-facing beach with access to the Sound waters. The spot works primarily with south to southwest winds. The park is crossed by an active railroad separating the parking from the beach via a pedestrian bridge. Wooded urban setting with views of the Olympic Mountains.
Riding in Puget Sound with cold saltwater (8-14°C/46-57°F). A 4/3 to 5/3mm wetsuit recommended. Light to moderate chop depending on wind and currents. Tidal currents influence conditions. Rocky bottom with pebbles and sand. Driftwood common in the water.
Intermediate
Open all year round
Very active railroad along the beach — cross only via the pedestrian bridge. Cold Puget Sound water — hypothermia risk. Maritime traffic including ferries and cargo ships. Driftwood and logs on the beach and in the water. Tidal currents can carry riders. Busy public park — watch for walkers.
