  • Tide Window

    Plan the route around slack or falling tide — rising tide can trap groups against cliffs.

  • Swell Timing

    Large swell makes jump entries and swim sections dangerous — reschedule if swell exceeds experience.

  • Cold Shock

    Cold water incapacitates within minutes — wear a wetsuit even in mild conditions.

Safety Notes

  • Always wear a helmet and buoyancy aid.
  • Check tide tables and swell conditions before any coastal activity.
