Every 6 hours it's starting the change of tides. Perfect flat water, the difference with low tide and high tide makes the place a different spot. Basically it's a river sneaking its way to the sea, in low tide there is a big area to ride that in high tide becomes enormous. It's possible to ride perfect flat water until meeting the sea and some breaking waves. Once on the sea, right behind the river there's a bay that offers almost perfect flat sea water.

It turns from offshore to sideoffshore in the river and on the northern tip of the bay, in the other side is sideoffshore and in the second bay after the river again sideoffshore. No problem in the river/lagoon. In August the wind is very strong. Gusty winds. The further you go to the downwind end of the lagoon, the better the wind becomes. Take teh ferry to cross the river mouth, then drive to the lagoon's end.
