^^^ dunno why. He wants flat water so the bay is about the only place. Need a 4WD for some wave spots, but certainly not to find flatwater.
Bikramstu, in a normal seabreeze, the end of Castletown Quays would be the go for almost cross shore, easy flatwater. The rest of the bay in different wind directions. BUT if there is the tiniest bit of north in it, forget it.
Wylie Bay can be good also.

The bay is not flat, its choppy as in a cranking SE (the prevailing wind in summer). Yes it can be flat, but only on a westerly, unusual in Summer, and if so, usually stormy. There are butter flat spots, but you need a 4WD. For waves without a 4WD, just follow "the tourist route" and the best flat water you'll get is between the broken waves.
