y
launch/come in at the middle of the bay as there are rocks on either side of it
some rolling swells out the back and small wind wave on the southern side
best parking to the south or you gotta walk back up donkey hill

Are you refering to Metts Poids? I thought Toms would be more North Beach?
But then again Toms would not be recommended to sail. I sailed there from Metts and got some fun waves on my own but the reef and rocks are super sketchy

we called the track from near the jetty back up to the hwy donkey hill. after you walk up it a few times with sailing gear you can see why! we used to do a coastie and come in on the north side of the jetty, unrig and walk up the hill to a friends house on Castle st.
