When is the best time to Kayak?

The Westport River is a tidal river, so it is a good idea to check the tide chart. High tide provides access to more areas of the river, like the marshes and coves, and low tide exposes the sandbars, which are fun to pull over on for a swim or a picnic. It can be a little muddy on the beach at low tide, but we have a hose! It is always a good idea to plan to have the tide with you on the return trip. Wind is also a factor. Generally, there is more wind in the afternoon. it takes more energy to paddle against the wind. click the links for weather and tides so you can plan the best trip for you!
