Why Riders Love It
Lots of holes in the wind, many puffs and lulls can get real gusty in storms too. But you gotta take what you can get. Steady in spring and fall, light in summer, really cold in winter. North winds are nice cause they are steady and clear out the haze from NYC but East and West winds barrel down the sound and are optimal. Wind in summer time is hit or miss. Could blow 2-3 days out of the week or zero. Fall time has great wind and so does early spring.
When to Go
Cold in winter, nice from spring to fall.
What to Expect
There's several rocks close into shore and always lobster pots and flags that can tangle up lines if your kite falls. The current gets pretty heavy coming through the cut when the tide is mid way and all the land out to the sandbar usually gets exposed at low tide but can make for a cool land gap if you have the balls. Oysters and rocks might scare you away. The water is also a bit dirty during the summer time when it rains hard, so be sure to fresh water rinse after a session to avoid the sea funk.
