Learn how to assess conditions

Before you ride, learn how to assess the conditions for your local spot by combining forecasts, local knowledge, and what's actually happening on the beach. Understand which conditions work for your spot, your level, and your gear — and which ones are a no-go.

Checklist

  • I've downloaded the wind forecast apps or bookmarked the websites local riders use, and I know which wind models they rely on to assess conditions.
  • I know which wind directions work for the spots I ride, and whether tides or currents affect them.
  • I know which conditions are a no-go for me.
