Beach and Tide Conditions

on this spot.
Lake Michigan / Esch Road Beach, Michigan (USA) is a
Chop and Small waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
This is a very secluded beautiful beach. On a Northwest you have a huge arching coastline that no matter what goes wrong you will eventually end up at. Pure sand bottom and plenty of room for tons of riders. Very good spot for beginners.
The water is extremely clean along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. This is a standard beach break. There is a nice shallow sandy, shallow bottom for about 50 yards out, and then it drops off. On a SW the chop and waves are minimal. On a Northwest the waves can form in nice and clean, very fun to play in.
