Wind, water and the year
What has to line up
Anchor Point clears 55 out of 100 October to April. A wave needs swell from the right sector, wind off the land and the tide in its window — all three, on the same morning.

Stated plainly
What can hurt you here
- Rocks in the line-up. There are places you cannot fall.
- A long paddle against current to reach the peak.
- Sea urchins. Booties, and do not put a foot down blind.
- A local pecking order. Wait your turn and do not drop in.
