Practical
Position from the ActiveCaptain marker. About 2 m (6.5 ft) of water in deep sand up to 200 ft from the rocks; more spots in 1 to 1.7 m towards the big beach to the south. Approach from the west and head in towards the rocks. Use it in east winds: a 2014 boat lay in dead-flat water in 20 to 25 kn from 120 degrees. Shoal-draft friendly; check depth on the tide.
