Port Mary is a sandy beachbreak, also known as Shelikof Bay, with waves peeling both left and right over sand. Rights tend to be the pick here. Keep an eye on the Iris Meadow behind the beach, where bears are often feeding.
When It Works
The break draws swell from southwest to west (SW-W), with west (W) swell the best match. It works from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 1.8 m / 6 ft, and the sandbanks are moderately consistent.
Wind and Tide
Look for northeast (NE) offshore wind; winds from the eastern quadrant generally keep it clean. The beach works across low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide the better call.
Local Tips
This gentle, sandy beachbreak suits beginners, and the lineup stays quiet when it's on.
