Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions
do not depend on Tide
on this spot.
Floras Lake, Oregon (USA) is a
Shallow, Flat, Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
The shallow water and sandy beach make this the best place to learn in Oregon. There is a sandy beach up at the top of the lake, and for the first half of one side. Make sure if you go downwind you don't go past where you can still land on the beach, as past the edge of the lake has thick brush and trees covering it, which make landing impossible. There is a beautiful campground right on the lake. Stay there and not only do you get a great view of the lake, but you are a couple minute walk away from the beach.
Fresh water, smooth up at the top (windward side), choppy for the rest. The top is very shallow (waist deep) for a couple hundred feet, then it starts getting deeper. Spring fed, very clean and clear. The water is shallow around the top of the lake, about waist deep, it gets deeper the further away you are from the northern side. If you want waves, you can ride on the ocean side with very nice waves which can get very big.
