Todd's Point Launch (Greenwich)

Todd's Point Launch is a small, sandy, shallow-water launch area in Old Greenwich/Greenwich Point with cloudy water and a flat-water, chop-influenced setup in Long Island Sound. Conditions are described as having currents (with rip-current risk possible) and physical obstacles including rocks and fisher nets, plus some boat traffic. The launch approach is also described as narrow/tight, and launch difficulty is generally moderate. For wind, the most consistently favorable directions are N, E, and W, with the strongest months called out as March, April, September, and October. Typical wind strength is described as roughly 12–25 knots, with moderate gustiness and at times localized turbulence near trees and buildings. Wind reliability is characterized as moderate, and the spot’s wind suitability aligns especially well with spring/fall frontal patterns. Kitesurfing is the best-matched sport here, generally aimed at intermediate riders. Multiple freeride styles are described as possible, and foiling is discussed as an option once beyond the shallowest launch areas. Windsurfing and windsurf/foil styles are also described as viable, but access constraints and right-of-way expectations for locals matter for successful sessions. Safety and access are the defining features: park entry is restricted to town residents (non-residents may require daily passes), lifeguards are described as seasonal and enforcement is strict, and the park closes at sunset. The best riding area is described as being on the far side of the point but is limited to off-season only. Plan your session around tides to avoid the shallowest sections at low tide, and give locals the right of way.
