About
This spot is best when the wind is in the south to west sector (SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W). Water is reported as flat/chop with clean conditions, but there can be near-shore shallows for a long way out, so foilers/waterstarts typically benefit from walking out beyond the immediate swim area. Hazards include swimmers and, around the launch, trees and power lines; some sections may also include rocks, and boat traffic can be a factor. Because of swimmer crowding in summer, riders are advised to avoid the swimming zone and ideally plan sessions for shoulder seasons or early/late in the day.
