Enclosed bay with outlet to ocean. All that seperates you from the Atlantic are the dunes. Can be choppy on strong NE's though usually flat. Tide not an issue though weeds can be heavy in the late summer and fall so body dragging beginners will dredge up a faceful. Shallow near the shore.
The beach is not that wide but due to the winds it works in and the shallowness of the water near shore a launch here is relatively safe. No rocks, some pebbly areas upwind and some moored boats. No concrete, lifeguards, unregulated public access.
Air: April/May 40's to 70°F, June to August 60's to 90°F, September to November 40's to 70's, much cooler in November (snow possible). Water: April/May 50-60°F, June to August 60°F increasing to 70°F, September 70°F, October 60°F, November 50°F. Will only freeze in the coldest of winters.
