| * A S-SW wind can make the conditions funky. It gives you two choices. Paddling in toward the bridge where the waves usually smooth out (except really big days), or paddle south and do West Beach Laps. Actually laps going in and out at Bowman Bay can be another option which also means not having to deal with strong tidal current. | * A S-SW wind can make the conditions funky.

When [[https://wx.ikitesurf.com/spot/600|Smith Island]] shows 20+ west winds a swimmer will be flushed out into conditions that will still create a challenging remount. | + | * It's common for sizeable conditions even with little local wind.
