The Wave

The north end (Boneyard) exposes cobbles and sharp rocks at low tide - watch your feet and avoid the river mouth after rain due to poor water quality.

Mid to mid-high tide usually produces the cleanest, mellower shoulders while low tide can expose hazards and high tide often closes the waves out.
