On the outgoing tide you have to fight with the current to stay in the lineup however the water is much warmer since the water from the river is flowing out. This wave is mostly a right especially on the bigger days.
Atmosphere
It gets extremely crowded when it is big. There is a small takeoff spot on these days so unless you are really good then don't bother because you won't get any waves.
General
One of the best waves in Maine. It often barrels, even on smaller swells.
