Bayview is a kitesurfing spot in Padilla Bay, in the Skagit Valley of northern Washington State. This shallow bay offers a vast sheltered body of water influenced by tides. At low tide, large sand and mud flats are exposed, reducing the rideable area. The spot works with south to southwest winds. Agricultural setting typical of the Skagit River delta with views of the Olympic Mountains and San Juan Islands.
