About Vanderbilt Beach
Water quality is moderately clean. Used to be very dirty but Revere Beach is in close proximity to the Deer Island Water Treatment Plant. The water tends to get better every year. The only downfall to the water quality is after a rainstorm as a lot of the Revere Beach Boulevard storm drains empty out into beach area. The surface of the water varies. There can be chop and sometimes waves. Waves are predominant in easterly winds or after off shore storms. Low tide water can become shallow and flat in spots due to sandbars. Expect a long walk to deep enough water from the kite set-up area however, there is a tide pool thats about 1-2ft deep at mid-low tide, makes for flat waters. At high tide the water can get choppy and has small waves. The further out you go away from the beach the surface condition of the water can gen large swells on an outgoing tide due to a neighboring inlet and saltwater marsh area. Waves only during and after a storm and they break close to shore. You can ride them only at high tide.
