im not a pro, but here are my thoughts. I've only anchored in relatively protected coves so there was not a lot of wave action
the most important part of the boat is the motor, if the stern gets too shallow, you may be f'ed. I like to keep the stern in the deepest water. I usally anchor bow towards the beach, one anchor off the stern and one off the bow. I adjust as the tide goes in or out. That way if the tide/waves push me in too much, I can rely on the motor to pull me out.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
