West Dennis Beach, Massachusetts (USA)

Summer months are the best, usually we get 2-3 days per week of good S-SW winds. Best conditions in Southeast to South to Southwest and West winds. Mostly Southwesterly (predominately), in summer to West (sideshore). One can expect Southwesterly winds every day around 20 knts in the afternoon because of a thermal with the islands.

Water temps in the summer are around 65°F. Air temps in the summer range from 70-90°F. Water is warm during the summer (June, July, August), but it's not a bad idea to bring a shorty in case you get cold.

Usually the water is a bit choppy if it's blowing good but can be flat also. Low tide the water is only 1-3ft deep. The water is shallow at low to medium tide, up to a half mile out, you still can be waist deep at low tide. When the wind blows over 25 knts, you get a 2-4 foot chop in the sound. You can also ride in the river mouth for very nice flat water, but too shallow on low tide.
