You are pretty close to the open ocean on NCM Beach. You definately want to be aware of the tides, current and wave size.

Thanks, I met some locals and they were very helpful in assisting with the tides. ALmost flipped it as the winds picked up when the tides came in. Scary being it was my second time on it ever.
