Shallow bay with nice flat water. Can be too shallow at low tide at beach. Best to walk out into Bay for deeper water. Further out are rolling waves and 3 rocky islands in only 4ft. water depth. If kiting out of the bay, be aware there are few beaches downwind along this mostly rocky shoreline. Keep upwind for safety if you are less experienced.
