Best setups are north to NNE lake swells with light westerly-to-southwesterly winds (locally offshore at many Zion beach sections) and higher water from wind setup/seiches matters more than true tidal range.
Expect busy lineups when steady northerly fetch builds.
Shoreline sandbars and a shifting nearshore trough create peaky, short-period peaks and an intermittent rip.
