Best Tide:

Very flat water. Very shallow almost everywhere. Can get packed with too many kiters. Waves on the ocean side. Few rocks in the water. During rainy season the lagoon can get very big, but it can also dry out once the water level is too high and it breaks through to the ocean. But it will fill with water again.
