Willoughby Spit is a kitesurfing spot on a natural sand spit extending into the Chesapeake Bay, in Norfolk. This unique geographical formation offers bay access from both sides of the sand spit, allowing riding regardless of wind direction. The north side faces the bay with good fetch, while the south side is more protected in Hampton Roads. It's one of the most versatile spots in the area thanks to this dual exposure.
Chesapeake Bay on both sides. North side: good fetch with chop in north wind. South side: more protected, flat water conditions. Brackish water with limited visibility. Shallow near the sand spit banks. Sandy bottom. Moderate tidal range.
Intermediate
Open all year round
Intense military naval traffic — Norfolk Naval Station nearby (world's largest naval base). Aircraft carriers and warships frequent. Respect military security zones. Jellyfish in summer. Tidal currents. Strong currents at the Hampton Roads entrance.
