What the community said
Early risers get the best swimming — waist-deep calm water in the morning. By midday the tide often goes out, leaving only knee-deep water where you could swim hours before.

Conditions change daily and are unpredictable — one day the tide comes in after lunch for great swimming, the next day the water is already gone by 2 PM. Check conditions each morning.
