Bottle Beach State Park is a kitesurfing spot in Grays Harbor, on the Pacific coast of Washington State. This state park is nestled inside Grays Harbor, offering more sheltered conditions than the open ocean. The bay is vast and shallow, with mudflats and sandbars exposed at low tide. Northwest and southwest winds are channeled through the bay, providing regular conditions. The spot is known for migratory bird watching and abundant marine life.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Cold bay water (8-14°C), 4/3 wetsuit recommended year-round. Shallow bay waters with muddy and sandy bottom. Significant tidal currents, especially in the main channels. At low tide, vast mudflats are exposed, significantly reducing the navigable waterway. Flat to moderately choppy surface without ocean waves. Regular winds at 12-22 knots.
Powerful tidal currents in Grays Harbor, especially in channels. Do not drift toward the bay entrance and the Grays Harbor bar (dangerous). Extensive mudflats at low tide: risk of getting stuck. Cold water risking hypothermia. Protected wildlife areas (migratory birds): respect seasonal restrictions. Frequent coastal fog. Fishing boat traffic in the bay.
