Flat to choppy water. Shallow depending on the tide. Ridable at most states of the tide. There are a few small wooden stakes that appear from about mid-tide, ask a local for the exact location. At very low tide there is a 2-4m strip of mussels and razor shellfish, if you are a beginner, you may want to wear boots.
