What has to line up
Jacking Horse clears 55 out of 100 August to October. 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
- Shallow reef. The wave breaks in water you can stand in, over something that will cut you.
- Sea urchins. Booties, and do not put a foot down blind.
