Beach and Tide Conditions
Todd's Point Launch, Connecticut (USA) is a
Shallow, Flat and Chop spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Small size.
It is all shells and rocks, wear booties or have some real tough feet. Don't land your kite on the beach. Bring it across the road to the grassy field where it says windsurfer crossing.
There's several rocks close into shore and always lobster pots and flags that can tangle up lines if your kite falls. The current gets pretty heavy coming through the cut when the tide is mid way and all the land out to the sandbar usually gets exposed at low tide but can make for a cool land gap if you have the balls. Oysters and rocks might scare you away. The water is also a bit dirty during the summer time when it rains hard, so be sure to fresh water rinse after a session to avoid the sea funk.

You must be a town resident to use the beach, and its primarily a windsurfer/sailing spot so give the locals the right of way as always. The other side of the point is really the best spot to ride but its only allowed in the off season, because town residents are a bit `fragile` and don't like flying objects on their pristine shallow beaches. The life guards for the most part are tools and won't let anything slide, so have your session around/before sunset because the park closes at sunset. Or just early and late season, the chimes building side is all fair game all seasons, from sunrise to sunset everyday.
