What is an Off-shore wind?
A. If the wind is coming off the land (roughly 90degrees to the shoreline) and blowing out to sea, it’s not safe for underconfident surfers, as any mistake in your technique or rig damage will result in your being blown out to distant open water. It will be milder, and will flatten the waves, and it will be an easy broad reach to get out – but this could mislead you into going out – don’t!
