Water is typical of the area surrounding the Mississippi River. It is brackish, maybe a foot or so of visibility. For about 750 yards out, it is smooth water, with a reef break after that, then small waves. The beach is very wide, maybe 50 yards or so and stretches for miles. You can do very long downwinders here if it is blowing the right direction. Spring is best with breeze from the SE. In Summer, the wind is generally decent for large kites (16-20m). After September, or October, the fronts start coming in and you can ride smaller kites, around 12m. Can be ridden in any direction of wind except for directly out of the North as that is directly offshore. For North winds go to the Silver Slipper Beach about 10 miles West of Henderson Point. Beautiful weather during the Spring and early Summer months. Overcast during the winter when the fronts come through. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Rooms, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
