Hythe is a large bay with best wind directions W-SW although - anything from NE through the easterlies to SW also work. The setup for windsurfing is nice and easy with plenty of parking along the seafront and a local kitesurfing shop. If the wind is not quite right for Hythe, then further south you can find both Dungeness and Camber Sands, alternative great locations.

Hythe can see some nice waves coming in so can work as a wave sailing location as well as bump and jump.
