We anchored here in September. Good holding and anchor came up clean. Local boaters gather at the end of the island, so there were some wakes when they arrived and left, but almost nothing from passing tows. Anchor further up the chute for more protection from winds. We stayed well below, so swung more from wind but were not disturbed by noise from partying boaters on the island. This will be very quiet on weekdays.
