Pigeon Hill Harbour

Pigeon Hill Harbour is a protected bay located on Canada's Atlantic coast in Nova Scotia. The spot features a northeast-facing coastline with a narrow entrance channel flanked by sandy beaches and rocky shores. The protected bay configuration creates a contained water environment with variable conditions depending on tidal state and wind direction. Wind reliability is notably low at 18.9%, limiting consistent sessions. The shallow bay waters produce choppy conditions (0.59m average) rather than organized swells. Best conditions occur with northwest winds providing side-shore flow. The spot suits intermediate riders seeking protected conditions away from open ocean exposure. Winter water temperatures (6.1°C) require proper thermal protection. Success depends on timing winds with favorable tidal flow through the narrow entrance channel. Local knowledge of seasonal weather patterns and tidal cycles is important for planning sessions.
