I would have thought so, it is a proper sea. Just how tall are you?

The Indian Ocean it ain't, so take along your wetsuit.

The water is actually very shallow and you should have to walk a few hundred meters (depending excatly where) before getting enough to swim but you definitely can swimm. The one thing you might not be able to do is to dive!

Hmm, I know tides are strong in that area, but I'm sure I've seen people windsurf and swim there, admittedly it was a good while back (memory going downhill faster than Bode Miller). Oh well, maybe there was a seaside midgets' convention that day.

Depends very much on the tide. If low tide, you have to go out a fair way, at high tide it is better, but watch the speed of the tide. It can move fast!
