Matanzas Inlet, Florida (USA) is a Shallow, Flat, Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.

The launching/landing area is reported to be of Big size.

Both sides of Matanzas Inlet have one of the nicest beaches in Florida. The sand ranges from perfect fine grain quartz sand to coarse red shells. There is plenty of room to launch.

Matanzas Inlet is one of the only natural uncontrolled tidal inlets on the east coast of the United States. There are no jetties or other obstructions so the sand changes constantly with the tides. The tide runs at 3-4 knots on an outgoing tide, creating an opposing current to the wind on NE winds. Waves on the outside sandbar block any chop and creates perfectly flat water on the inside of the inlet. The river mouth setup on the outside can create perfect point break style waves and holds any size swell. Be careful of the current because if you drop your kite you could be sucked out to sea.
