Best time
Year-round calm conditions thanks to the sheltered harbor location. Mornings offer the flattest water and most solitude. This is a low-key local spot, so any time outside of weekend afternoons will be uncrowded. Summer months bring slightly warmer water temperatures. Avoid visiting during heavy rain events as runoff from the port area can affect water clarity.
