Racine: Wind Point

"The Point" can catch wind and waves from almost any wind with an Easterly component, but usually is best with winds from the NorthEast. The beach here is quite rocky, so you need to be careful if you ride a wave too far in -- a flip will be brutal.

Addiionally, keep in mind that when there is too much Northerly or Southerly component to the wind, there will be strong rip currents. These make it extremely difficult to stay at the 'point' of Wind Point, as you get swept further and further down the beach. Rather than battling the rip current, it is likely you'll need to go ashore to hike 'up beach', to restange for your next sequence of rides. (And you're generally not likely to repeat that process more than a couple times before you pack it in.)

When rip currents are present, any 'out of boat' experiences will be very problematic. Trying to swim toward shore (especially if you are trying to keep hold of boat and paddle!) will be a major chore!
