The water gets warm, about 60°F during the summer on an outgoing tide. Filled with ice floes from November through April. A wetsuit or drysuit is definitely needed even though the water can get pretty warm, you want one so that you can ride the cold water on the other side of Homer Spit on the low tide. It rains a lot but not hard.Edit
