Decent spot for West winds. Usually choppy conditions. Watch for tidal currents in the channel that can separate you from your board forever. Sandy beach. Ok sized on low tide, almost no beach on high tides. Then the beach becomes dangerous for kitesurfers, since you will launch kites next to rocks. Best wind is from West and West Northwest. Winter is very cold. Wetsuit needed in spring and autumn. Summer can be without. Bayside: winter temperatures usually about 38°F, summer 75°F. Ocean: winter temperatures usually 38-45°F, summer 68-72°F. Water: Flat, Chop. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
