Karaka Park, New Zealand is a
Shallow spot.
The
launching/landing area

Tidal size.
Pump up on the grass. Beach is small at high tide, but you need to have a tidal depth of around 2.5m and below to get far enough away from the cliffs and trees. This is around mid to low tide.
The flat water is on top of and on the far side of the deep water channel. You need to be good at going upwind if the wind is very westerly, particularly when the tide is at its lowest as the deep water channel which you have to tack upwind in can get narrow when the sandbank dries out. Coming back to the beach can involve a downwinder in choppy water.
