Overview

Galveston North Channel is a kitesurf spot on the bay side of Galveston Island's eastern tip, facing the north channel of Galveston Bay. This spot offers bay conditions with flatter water than the Gulf side, but with significant tidal currents related to the navigable channel. It's an alternative to adjacent East Beach when Gulf conditions are too rough. Spot recommended for advanced riders due to currents and maritime traffic.
