Whitstable offers a wide variety of conditions in many wind directions and states of the tide. The local windsurf club has a bar, hot showers and board storage. Windsurfers launch from the beach to the left of the harbour.
For windsurfing Whitstable is ideal in SW to NW and NE to SE. For 1-2 hours either side of high tide, a perfectly flat water area is exposed next to the beach. Called 'the Street', it has been used as a speed strip and it's also ideal for beginners in lighter winds as the sand bank prevents any drifting out to sea. Windsurfing is also possible further west at Keynes Yard - especially if the wind is SW.
Parking is available on the seafront and all amenities and plenty of accomodation can be found in the town. There is also a cafe on the seafron in which wetsuit clad windsurfers are welcome.
Kitesurfing is also popular here, but I don't do it so can't really comment too much on its suitabilty.
