Why Riders Love It
Average over the course of the season is 2-3 ridable days per week. Usable wind is most often onshore thermals (stronger in springtime, very light in July/August), with some frontal winds on occasion (mainly in the fall). Since the beach curves, NE and SW will be sideshore further west.
When to Go
5/4 wetsuit with boots/gloves/hood in April, 4/3 with boots/gloves/hood through most of May, 3/2 in June, shorty usually fine July/August or stick with 3/2, September/October are fine with 3/2 or 4/3. Off-season riding is possible but water and air temps are dangerously cold - snowkiting on nearby frozen lakes is the better option.
What to Expect
Flat to moderately choppy, depending on the strength of the wind. Waves are generally small. Low tide: shallow water - best time for learners. A large sandbar extends from the jetty at low tide, the area on the other side can be very flat but also has a current which is very strong (7-8kts!) at low tide.
