About Pleasure Bay
Perfectly flat glassy water, tidal, but always over your head. The water is always dirty. At low tide it does get shallow up next to the jetty near the beach. Watch for rocks on the bottom. Can easily snag a fin or your board. Also no fun to fall on one either. Rock wall around upwind side in a southerly, which makes for the most amazing glass riding anywhere. This is why experienced riders go here.
