    “Emma Wood state beach is a very tide sensitive break you might arrive to see small sets coming in and a half hour later it is going off for an hour or longer then back to small sets but when it goes off it can be a heavy and fast hollow wave. It serves up a nice nw swell a sw, and wnw it also delivers some gnarly wind swell when it is firing.”
