Perfectly flat glassy water, tidal, but always over your head. The water is always dirty. At low tide it does get shallow up next to the jetty near the beach. Watch for rocks on the bottom. Can easily snag a fin or your board. Also no fun to fall on one either. Rock wall around upwind side in a southerly, which makes for the most amazing glass riding anywhere. This is why experienced riders go here. Beach is around approximately 2/3rds of the enclosed area. A sailing center is downwind and there are two dam like openings, in the wall, through which the tide flows through. When the tide is outgoing, you need to stay well clear of this area. Launching is tight but there is enough room. Good quality sand. The beach is tight at high tide. Launch is at southwest corner of the bay. Launching can be tricky here and is not for beginners. Assisted launching is highly recommended even for advanced riders. Completely enclosed, it is a half mile circle. This is not a beginner spot. If you can't self rescue, self land, and stay upwind you should not ride here, period. 10-20 is your average wind. Very gusty. You want to ride it in a southerly for the most part. Northerlies you need to go somewhere else, though it works in an easterly but there are better spots from this direction locally. Not a beginner spot, the gusty wind will drive you nuts, and you will drive other people nuts. Sometimes not a lot of wind right on the surface, which makes relaunching your kite tricky, and of course there are the dams where the water flows in and out with amazing velocity. But the good directions for this site is SW through E. New England weather is anything at anytime. May through October are realistically the times to go. Can be snowing in the months other than these. Beware of putting your kite up in a light easterly, as wake vortexes from jets can make it down to the surface, very dangerous! Wetsuits required almost all year, except for late July and August, when you sometimes can go without. Hot and humid in summer. Cold and icy in winter. Water: Flat. Features: Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
