When to Go
Typical UK conditions. Wetsuit all year needed, summer maybe without.
What to Expect
Flat to choppy water. Big shallow area. Tidal. Best 2-3 hours either side of high tide. Can get classic flat water wind against tides often in the early evening on an incoming tide. Kiters should avoid the windsurfers and keep clear of any boats and moorings.
