SE winds have a nasty habit of being short lived before they shift into the SW.

At certain phases of the moon the high tide can reach the base of the cliffs. Low tide is equally exaggerated.. SE winds have a nasty habit of being short lived before they shift into the SW. The short lived SE wind makes the long ridge on the NW side of the Bay difficult to fly. The intertidal zone on this side is also very narrow. It is recommended that only pilots very experienced in coastal flying attempt this ridge. |
