The Wave
The beach is easier to read on a mid or rising tide, with the low ebb leaving the bars and channel a bit too thin for the cleanest shape.

Lineup Guide
Aim for a west wind and a northeast swell, then watch the mouth sandbar and the river channel before paddling out.
Access is straightforward from Orford foreshore parking, but the mouth can carry current and the sandbar shifts, so check the entry and exit line before committing.
