It’s not far and you’re never much distance from shore, so it’s never going to be dangerous, although in any sort of southerly wind this route can get a bit choppy – especially near the casino where there’s a notorious bounce-back chop off the concrete walls! Tidal currents will be at their lowest within half an hour of high tide, although you’ll still be paddling against a tiny bit of flow both ways around high tide. Not a sensible route beyond an hour after high tide, but could be a good workout leaving early (2 hours before high) and coming back with the flooding tide.
