The relatively high incoming tide should make for some nice long rides if the conditions are right for surfing. We can choose which part of the beach has the most optimal swell direction. This is not a coaching event so some experience and comfort with the surf zone is required. Ebb wil begin mid afternoon so the optimal conditions are most likely between 9 AM and 3 PM, leaving room for the drive home afterwards if you are heading off the Peninsula that evening.
Meet on the private beach at Crescent Beach at 9 AM and launch at will. You can camp there for a fee the night before if desired. The day use fee is $8.
