Be sure to watch the tides and make sure that if you start a downwinder session that the tide is fairly far out, so that you have some beach area to land on. The water can come right up to the edge of the rocks at the railroad tracks at high tide. The only obstacles you may face are crowds on the beach, and possibly a few pilings, but otherwise the area should be fairly conducive for a landing. This is probably the best spot for beginners to do downwinders on Northerlies, due to the fact that the wind is side/sideonshore, meaning that the wind would most likely carry you back into shore (there are no guarantees though). Best for downwinders on Northerlies on a fairly low tide. The beach curves, making several directions sideshore. 4/3 wetsuit late spring, shorty to board shorts in late June through July and August. Water temp 50°F late spring to upper 60's°F in August (tide will effect this more than in Gorge). Air temps 50's to 70°F in spring and 70's to 90's°F in summer. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
