Water:

Shallow and flat water. Little chop. No boats.

Beach:

Small sandy beach, but lots of space on the empty properties.

Weather:

Like outer banks sound just a few degrees cooler. Shortie mid spring and fall, shorts June to August.

Wind:

North: sideoffshore

Northwest: sideshore

West: sideonshore

Southwest: onshore

South: sideonshore

Southeast: sideshore

East: sideoffshore

Northeast: offshore

You can kite ESE to WSW pre frontals and thermals. Too gusty if any North in the wind direction.

How to get there:

Get to Black Horse Pike (US 40) and take a street south to the lake and you will hit Bay Drive. Best launch is left or right of the Hampton Inn.

Rules & Restrictions:

Ride upwind about 1/2 mile to the marsh and get waist deep dead flat water for trying new tricks.

     Those wind directions posted are wrong for kiters. 
They are for the windsurfing launch in front of the hotel. Kiters can launch there rarely, but are definitely don't seem to be very welcome to. We launch from a kite beach which makes approximately a 90 degree turn from the windsurfing beach. 
So something like S or SSW is directly sideshore and W or WNW is onshore from the launch. P.S: upwind a ways is a slick that works great on the normal SW wind, but takes a couple tacks to get up to. 
Like this website by the way. Close to home, not some overseas location!
