Before you launch
- A planning aid built on forecast models. It cannot see tide races, overfalls or surf on a steep beach.
- Check the official inshore waters forecast and official tide times.
- Dress for immersion in the water temperature, not the air.
- Tell someone your plan and carry a way to call for help.
