Lineup Guide

Tide only matters a little; watch the bank shape and how busy the lineup is before paddling, because the bay can get crowded when it is on and the reserve setting makes it feel more like a destination check than a quick city session.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
