Why Riders Love It
Can be very good if from the South/Southwest as it is funneled through the opening of the bay. But any direction can be good as offshore is no danger with land on the other side. It's a bay/inlet so the wind gets funneled in the mouth of the bay and can have wind in lots of different directions. Wind in Ontario tends to be the best in the spring and fall. Best direction: Southwest breeze.
When to Go
It can be cold. But in the summer all you need is a shorty. The wind is not always there in the summer but check the forecasts, it's fairly accurate. Spring and fall you'll need a full steamer if not a drysuit.
What to Expect
Very flat because of weeds. Always flat but best to go early in the season as the weeds are less.
