Hampton Beach is a nice, wide and clean beach with plenty of space to launch as long as you stay away from the beach goers by the life saving club.
The location is protected by the pier of Sandringham Yacht Club, which provides flat water surfing.

Wind details:
Best direction is SSW-SSE which is the common seabreeze direction. Picks up reliaby around 3-5 pm and stays up until sunset around 8:30 pm. The breeze is pretty constant at 15-20 knts. During Jan-Feb you can kitesurf 75% of the afternoons, the rest of the summer 50%, but the wind is more unreliable and gustier. Can be very gusty and light on the inside in S-SSE. Always smoother air and more wind out past the breakwater. Sideshore: NNW and SSE.
