On the water
The Biscayne Bay water body is shallow with a sandy and seagrass bottom. In trade winds, conditions are flat to lightly choppy. The water is warm year-round but can be more turbid than at central bay spots. Depth varies with the tide. The riding space is adequate in this southern part of the bay.
Hazards
Watch for stingrays in seagrass (stingray shuffle). Rocks and debris may be present on the bottom in some areas. Tidal currents exist in the bay. Less frequented area — riding with a buddy is recommended.
