Spot intelligence.
Kirra needs the correct sand ribbon and enough east-to-northeast swell to wrap inside Point Danger. When it aligns, speed is the defining factor.

Tides and currents use the Météo-France global ocean model via Open-Meteo at roughly 8 km resolution. Sea level includes tide and atmospheric effects and is referenced to global mean sea level, not a local chart datum. Coastal accuracy is limited; never use this for navigation.
