The Wave
The concrete piers and shifting sandbars concentrate peaks near the river mouth-takeoffs often form close to the pier and can throw quick, steep sections.
Best raw setup is a steady west (Lake Michigan) swell with light east winds for offshore cleaning.
Tides/river outflow only mildly tweak bar shape, so timing with a clean E/NE morning breeze and midday west-swell energy usually finds the peaks and avoids the busiest lineup.
