The first time I went there was around 9 or 10 a.m. and the tide was low. You can go out pretty far without it getting deep at all. I felt like I was going and going and it was still only to my waist (I'm 5'4). The water got more rough the farther I went out but it wasn't too bad. Also the water is VERY salty so it help keep you afloat big time. Still I brought an inner tube with me and just floated on that mostly. The next time I went was at 4 a.m. and the tide was up far onto the beach and rocks so waiting until a bit later is better. I went a third time around 11 a.m and the tide was a bit higher than the first time I went so I guess it changes a lot. Ok, after I wrote all that down it seems as though my times were not much help. I guess go around 8 a.m. Bring a floaty and you should be fine. ;)
