On the water

Shallow Mississippi Sound water with sandy bottom. Flat to slightly choppy conditions, rarely real waves thanks to the protection of Cat Island and Ship Island. Very warm water in summer (28-30°C), rideable year-round with wetsuit in winter. Good body of water for freestyle and progression.

Hazards

Jellyfish in warm season, sometimes in large numbers. Tropical thunderstorms in summer with frequent lightning — leave the water immediately when a storm approaches. Bottom potentially scattered with debris. Weak but present currents. Watch for traffic on the coastal road during setup/breakdown.
