jewalsac,
I've been to SEPC twice (Jan 2004 & just got back Tues from our 2nd time). In Jan 2004 the water was fairly rough, but seemed to calm down in the afternoons -- the red flag was replaced by the yellow flag many times. There were lots of ppl in the ocean then. This time, we got rain every day (May 9 -17) & the water was pretty rough the whole time. I don't think the yellow flags came out at all & I didn't see nearly as many ppl in the ocean.
The actual beach itself is gorgeous, w/ palm trees all along it. You can walk in both directions for a long time. Secrets is actually not technically considered Punta Cana; it's on the Uvero Alto beach.

Just got back from Secrets May 21st. The resort is amazing and has one of the best beaches bar none. Water has rolling 1 ft. waves and there is aneat little area on the right hand of the resort that is good for snorkeling. Red flags are always out and this only means there are no official lifeguards on duty.
