Flat water with small chop. Butter flat on SE (offshore winds). Shallow for the most park. Booties are helpful if you get off your board a lot. The river is about waist to chest deep depending on the tides. Also, you need to stay well east of the island for the shallow water if you need to walk. It is off the 406 causeway in the Indian River. Small but long grassy beach, which works well for launching kites. Watch out for power lines on south side of road in onshore winds. Parrish Park is a great place to ride if the wind is right. The launch spot is the beach area on the other side of the bridge. You can ride here in almost any wind direction except for NW which is strait onshore. It tends to be gusty here if the wind is below 15mph or anything out of the West. It is best on a strong SE wind which is offshore. Good before and after cold fronts. Good East coast spot in West winds. Wetsuits are only needed from December to March with temperatures dipping down into the 40's°F on occasion. Water temps are moderate. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
