The answer to this question depends on where you're launching from, the condition of the water and how much experience you have getting in and out of a kayak. To stay as dry as possible, launch your kayak on a day with calm waters and clear skies, so you don't have to worry about crashing waves or too much movement causing you to lose your balance. Never rush entering or launching your kayak. Slow and steady doesn't only win you the race — it also keeps you a lot drier.
