Flat to moderately choppy, depending on the strength of the wind. Waves are generally small. Low tide: shallow water - best time for learners. A large sandbar extends from the jetty at low tide, the area on the other side can be very flat but also has a current which is very strong (7-8kts!) at low tide. The beach runs from the sandbar/jetty westward (to the right as you look out over the water), curving around to the south. High tide is extremely tight, must be very skilled at going upwind to get away from the shore break. At low tide plenty of beach and shallow water - best time for learning. The beach is crowded from the end of June through mid-August - especially on weekends. Often not enough space to launch, especially at high tide. However, the crowds tend to thin after 5 pm, and when the tide goes out there may be enough room for more experienced riders to launch. Setting up near the parking lot is never a good idea: pedestrian traffic year-round. Average over the course of the season is 2-3 ridable days per week. Usable wind is most often onshore thermals (stronger in springtime, very light in July/August), with some frontal winds on occasion (mainly in the fall). Since the beach curves, NE and SW will be sideshore further west. 5/4 wetsuit with boots/gloves/hood in April, 4/3 with boots/gloves/hood through most of May, 3/2 in June, shorty usually fine July/August or stick with 3/2, September/October are fine with 3/2 or 4/3. Off-season riding is possible but water and air temps are dangerously cold - snowkiting on nearby frozen lakes is the better option. Water: Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Shower, Toilet, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
