As of:
Frequent strong rips and the Presque Isle peninsular geometry concentrate crowds at the consistent peaks near the piers.
Expect busy lineups on any clean swell day.
Surf at Erie usually comes from W-WSW as short-period windswell, with offshore flow from the SE cleaning the faces.
Tide is negligible but wind-driven setup/seiche can alter water level.
