Flat water on low tide. Lagoons between sandbars at low tide for extreme flat conditions. Can be waves at at high tide if there is a swell. Outgoing tide is the best, or the current may negate some of the wind. Good for learning at low tide, at high tide you need to stay upwind to stay away of the south jetty, since the city doesn't want anyone kiting between the jetty and the pier. Watch out for the sign posts in the water at high tide. Tides make a big difference. Sandy beach with lots of room. The wind blows here at least 3-4 days during the week. The wind averages from 10-15. Sometimes it blows 15-20+. Watch out for West winds, they can be gusty. Best direction is SW. Thermal winds in the afternoon during summer. Since the beach is rounded, any sideshore wind can be offshore a bit further downwind. Best season here is from May to August with reliable thermal sea breezes. Nice winds with cooler Northeasters. Winter and spring are the best times to come here for empty beaches and nice winds. The summer months the water can reach 80°F. In the winter it gets down to 50°F. The kiting season here is year round. Wetsuits are necessary from November to April. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Food, Parking.
