Best time in spring time on an ebb tide great views of Point Reyes mountains and beachs on the far side. Wind starts as early as 8:00 in the morning, blows solid until late in the day, often building from 5.0 to 3.5 or even less. Plan on sailing the ebb, bring a full quiver, all the way down to a sub-4.0 sail, as you will probably need it.
