The Wave prep notes:
We went Main Wave route w/ extra time for return navigation starting at 5:35 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow w/ track lines.
Key considerations: Physical map as backup.
Bottom line: Start earlier than you think.
Just show up ready.
