How to get there
Fly to Tacoma Airport. Take I-5 to Mt. Vernon, head west on Hwy 20, then turn right on Bayview-Edison Rd. The launch is at a state park just after you go through the town of Bayview. Going North you actually turn right and follow a park road that goes under the main road to end up at the water.

4/3 wetsuit late spring, shorty to board shorts in late June through July and August. Water temp 50°F late spring to upper 60's°F in August (tide will effect this more than in Gorge). Air temps 50's to 70°F in spring and 70's to 90's°F in summer.

The predominant wind direction is South to Southeast. North will also work but is a little harder to predict. Watch out for winds that are too easterly as the winds can be gusty and you may have to head aways offshore to get clean wind. If it's too easterly head across the bay to March's Point. Unfortunately it's a better sailing spot than kiting due to the the small rocky launch.
