Wind on the beach

cross-onshore.

  • The trades arrive from NE to ENE onto a beach that faces roughly northeast, so a standard day is side-onshore.
  • E and ENE give the cleaner angle; the further north the direction swings, the more straight-onshore and awkward the launch and the ride back become.

What the spot record warns about

  • shallow coral reef (wear reef booties)
  • sea urchins
  • occasional tiger sharks
  • humpback whales Dec-Apr (100-yard legal distance)
  • protected sea turtles (legal distance required)
  • heavy recreational beach traffic
