🌊

The Wave

Best days are when a long-period WNW swell arrives with a light SE offshore breeze.

Because Lake Ontario has negligible tidal range, swell period and wind timing control quality more than tide.

🏄

Lineup Guide

The lineup is prone to powerful rip currents and shifting sandbars - expect punchy, short-lived peaks and occasional heavy takeoffs.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
