Flat water, can get choppy. Water can be muddy or clear, depends on rainfall. Access is limited so use caution when launching. Best spot on north wind is the 520 slick near the hospital. Season starts in October when cold fronts start pushing through. October through May is the best time, but the most reliable months would be April and May when a combination of late season cold fronts and spring trades blow and it warmed back up. Summer: Southeast trade/thermal-lite to moderate, thunderstorm dodging. Fall: all directions but the Northeast is what we live for. Lite to windy, never can tell what day will produce. Winter: all directions, some gusty west winds on lagoon, and some great North and Northeast winds for the ocean. Spring: West, Northwest, North, Northeast and Southeast. Wetsuits are only needed from December to March with temperatures dipping down into the 40's°F on occasion. Water temps are moderate. According to 321 Kiteboarding's website, the best winds for the 520 Slick is N to NW. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
