Tide curve (forecast)
1.4 ftrising
The takeoff sits over submerged cedar stumps-broken boards and sharp consequences at low tide make caution essential and crowding intense when it fires.
When it works it prefers S-SE groundswells with W-SW winds (offshore) and often looks best on a falling-to-low tide or low incoming.
Expect inconsistent windows and rapid bar shifts after storms.
