Predict the ultimate downwind paddle days. We analyze wind, swell size, and directional alignment to score the conditions for your local beach.
Wind and swell have a 45° offset — good runs are possible but expect some cross chop breaking up the lines. 1.5m wind swell from the E — ideal size for fast, linked runners. 6s period is the sweet spot for downwind — fast, frequent bumps with good linking potential. Light 16 km/h (9 kn) SE wind — light energy, suitable for technique work. Wind and swell are reasonably aligned with the S coastline (49° combined offset) — decent run potential with some angle.
