weather

NB. The Bay of Fundy exhibits a phenomenal tidal range. At certain phases of the moon the high tide can reach the base of the cliffs. Low tide is equally exaggerated. Southerly winds, necessary to fly the long (10km)high cliffs beyond the arc of the bay are short lived in the summer making that section of the ridge difficult to fly. The intertidal zone on this side is also very narrow. It is recommended that only pilots very experienced in coastal flying attempt this ridge.
