Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The dominant wind comes from the northwest or west, often side-on relative to the south-facing beach. Conditions are better with a rare offshore east wind; otherwise, it is often onshore or cross-on, creating chop on the water.
Launching is done directly from the large sandy beach, with a wide take-off area to the north of the pier to avoid the crowd. The main riding area is south of the pier and towards the harbor wall, but stay away from swimming areas and surfers.
The water is generally choppy with swell from the southwest or northwest, cleaner at mid-rising tide. Avoid peak hours when the beach is crowded with walkers and volleyball players.
