The Wave
Best regular windows are long-period S-SE to S swells with a northerly (offshore) breeze.
The Destin Pass channel creates very strong tidal flows-getting caught on an outgoing can leave you long paddling or stranded.

Destin

Lineup Guide
Carry awareness and avoid the rip around peak current.
Low-to-mid rising tide or slack is generally cleaner for the sandbars, while strong outgoing/falling tides increase current and instability.
