TL;DR
Best swimming time is from morning until around 2 PM, after which low tide makes it too shallow. Waist-deep water is ideal for children.
Swimming is comfortable from morning until around 2 PM. After that, low tide sets in and the water recedes until evening. Waist-deep water makes it great for families with children.
For those seeking full relaxation with the sea just 50 meters away, conditions are pleasant. Note that the reef is small and shallow — good for a calm stay, but not for serious snorkeling.
Many travelers wonder how late they can swim. Stick to the morning hours — after midday, the tide goes out significantly and swimming becomes difficult.
