Georgian Bay / Allenwood Beach, Canada

Northerly winds are best. Works well on west around to Northeast. Offshore winds are a no-go, too gusty (0-30kts). Spring and fall have best chances of wind, while July and August are quite calmer. But, anything can happen. Although rare, we do see 50 kts a few times a year, average of 15 kts is most common. Average 2 or more days per week throughout the spring, summer and fall. Spring and fall are windiest.

Spring season starting April, steamer, if you are soft, you'll need boots and gloves. July and August board shorts work well. Fall season ending around October, put your steamer back on. Usually the higher the wind the cooler the temps. Water temps can range from 80 to 32°F and can cool rather quickly. Temps range from freezing in spring and fall, to 30°C in summer.

Clean and clear freshwater. Georgian Bay is a lake so don't expect ocean conditions. Although with a few days of 30kts wind, waves can reach 3 meters. In light wind wave size ranges from small chop to 1 or 2 feet, in 20 kts waves are around 3-4 feet. Expect more of a skate park session, than a Waddell Creek wave riding experience. Typical waves are 1 meter. Waves are beach break with nice shape.
