On the water

The Caloosahatchee River water body is wide at this point with a muddy and sandy bottom. In south or southeast winds, conditions are flat to light chop. The water is warm but often murky (estuary). The riding area is limited by the river width but sufficient. Tidal currents are present.

Hazards

Tidal currents in the river. Boat traffic is heavy on the Caloosahatchee. The water is murky — submerged obstacles are hard to see. Alligators possible in the river (rare in brackish water but caution). In northerly winds, conditions are offshore from the yacht club.
