Marine Street lights up on medium-period west to southwest swells in the 3-5 foot range. You want a moderate tide (3-4 ft) to keep the inside cobblestones submerged and the sandbars working. Light east or northeast winds groom the face in the morning. Avoid big winter NW swells—the angle is too direct and the wave closes out. The sweet spot is a combo swell with some south energy pushing peaks off the cobblestone shelf.
