Water

Type:	- Shallow - Flat - Chop	Hazards: - Ships/Boats - Jet Skis - Fisher Nets - Buoys - Rocks - Shells

Quality:	- Clean	Best Tide: - High Tide

Very shallow for beginners but must swim through overhead water thru a channel to get to the shallow water with outer mud flats for protected ultra flat water. High tide is recommended or at least carry a small fin. Weed fins are necessary during the summer. This area is a little tight for novices kitesurfers because there isn't much room to go down wind.
