Sail Bay is an intermediate flat water spot. There is often a lot of boat traffic (especially in the summer). There is grass-like vegetation growing in the shallow water. It can be slippery and it has muscles with extremely sharp shells living in it. These shells cut feet and kites, especially at low tide. Be careful! Sandy beach. The launch areas are small, there is a popular boardwalk adjacent to the launch, and there are buildings downwind of most areas. Sail Bay is best with South winds. Buildings and trees make it gusty from West to North directions. The weather in San Diego is nice and warm all year round. Water: Flat, Chop. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
