Tides on the river are now limited at Countess Wear (or Weir), which was constructed by the Countess of Devon. A ship canal bypasses the weirs and enabled ocean-going sailing ships to reach Exeter quay. At high tide, the estuary forms a large body of water that is heavily used for water sports especially sailing, windsurfing and water skiing; at low tide, extensive mud flats are exposed, and these are an important feeding source for wading birds. Along with other rias in south-west England, the Exe estuary is an important site for wintering waders. Dawlish Warren is a favoured site for birdwatching.
