Why Riders Love It
The wind is generally sideshore or sideonshore. The prevailing winds are easterly. NE in winter and SE in summer. The wind in winter is typically 15-20 knots but can be very gusty. The summers are dead calm unless we have tropical systems moving through. Tropical systems in summer mean either no wind or 35+ knots. The best time is winter from late November to about April.
When to Go
The water temperature varies between the high 70's°F in the winter and the mid to high 80's°F in the summer. The air temperature in winter never gets much below 76°F and in summer seldom gets over 90°F. A wetsuit is never necessary although lycras are great for sun protection.
What to Expect
The sound is an enclosed lagoon about 2 miles long by 1/2 mile wide. The deepest point is about 8 feet but most of the area is chest deep. The water is flat but can become choppy if the wind is strong. Tidal change is about 2 feet and really does not affect things much.
