The pond offers flat and shallow water. Shallow water makes this a popular learning spot. The ocean side has small to medium waves, depending on wind conditions. Stay away from swimmers, ocean or pond side. The Pond side you can water launch to avoid beach goers and other kiters. The beach here is very narrow. Ocean side you may have to walk a ways to get open beach in the summer although end of day it isn't to crowded and parking is free after 4:00 during beach season. Otherwise it's 8 bucks a day. The SW wind in the pond is frustrating, but the shallow and enclosed water make a great learning spot nonetheless. Lot of waiting for wind here. NE winds are steadier when they come but there is less space if you can't ride upwind. Ride almost any wind direction in the salt pond. Although the prevailing SW is fluky coming over the dune. Ride anything with S in it on the ocean. The Pond is shallow and heats up much quicker than the ocean on sunny spring and fall days. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Camping, Toilet, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
