Intermediate
Flat to choppy water in the bay. Sand and mud bottom. Very tide-dependent: at low tide, vast mudflats are exposed and the launch can be far. Best at mid-rising or high tide. Few waves thanks to island protection.
Very frequent BC Ferries traffic — NEVER ride in the ferry channel. Dangerous mudflats at low tide (risk of getting stuck). Tidal currents in the channel. Restricted navigation zone around the terminal. Cold water.
