Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best surf comes when a longer-period Northeast swell meets a light offshore breeze from the Southwest.
With Lake Superior’s tiny tidal range, cleaner conditions matter more than tide-aim for SW winds under 10-12 kt and incoming NE energy for the best sessions.
Lineup Guide
A shallow, cobble-and-rock bottom near the river mouth creates punchy, sometimes unpredictable peaks and a higher consequence of hits on shallow reef/rocks.
Parking and access are easy at 61st Ave E so lineups stay small but expect limited takeoff room.
