Best Time of Day to Wakesurf on Lake Tahoe
Morning sessions usually offer the smoothest water conditions, especially during peak summer months. That said, Lake Tahoe can provide great surf conditions throughout the day depending on wind and location. The wind is primarily out of the Southwest in the summer. Being on the South shore of the lake is advantageous in that we can tuck against the shore where the wind is coming from and find calm water at all times of day.
If you’re unsure which time slot is best, we’re happy to help you choose based on your goals and group size.
What Should You Bring?
We recommend bringing:
Swimsuits & towels
An extra layer
Sunscreen
Sunglasses & hats
Drinks and snacks (small coolers welcome, but we also have one onboard)
A great attitude
Everything else is handled by us.
