Jeff - Can you remind me at what the max tide is for a safe kite launch and when sandbars show?

I think sand is around 3.5, If you have help it is not too bad to launch below 4.0 as you can use the rocks. Above that (water around the top of the pipes) It can be very hard to get away from shore. No issue for tomorrow.

FYI weeds are already an issue, strongly advise against drift launching at high tide.

OSR Iona, 20 knots SW, shallow flat water, not too much of a walk right now. I'm just deciding whether to ride alone or gamble on Jericho as its switching more west.
