Lineup Insights
The Wave
Expect best, cleaner surf on northwest windswells when winds are southerly (offshore) and the lake is relatively flat.
Tides have minor effect but very low water after storms can pull waves onto shallow shelves.
Lineup Guide
Submerged reef and shoals around the Port Austin Reef Light and the Pinnebog River mouth create local current rips and unpredictable shallow hazards near the headland.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
