Sadly limited tide window.

Sadly limited tide window.

What tide level do we need for sandbars to show at Dog Beach?

I believe we need 1.7m for the sandbar at Acadia

The shelf at Dog is the same, 1.7m @ Pt Akinson:

You can drift launch at Dog pretty easy in up to 2.4m though. Just try and find a spot to pump up without any dogs trashing your kite.

I've also found that this year the Acadia sandbar has shifted quite a bit and needs more like 1.8m now, and it's way smaller.

Fantastic session at Locarno today. One of the best of the year so far.

Same thing at Wreck. Good waves this afternoon
