North St.

Edit Spot
About

This spot is fun and you can usually score a wave here if you don't have a bunch of time to check the harder to reach spots. Can't surf here 10am-5pm from memorial day to labor day because of the lifeguards, so if it's goin off, be there as soon as the lifeguards split to get a chance at an empty set. Just weave your way through the swimmers and enjoy the look of terror that comes across their face as you're blazin down the line.

Atmosphere:
Vibe out here ranges with the surf conditions. If it's going off, everyone is having a good time, but if the waves are scarce, the locals are as bitter as anywhere else. I think that goes for everywhere though, right?

Additional Info:
Dont get in the locals' way, be happy with second peak, if it's too crowded, just head anywhere in that range. New local hub of great surfers, The Kellys, talent from OCHS surf team, lots of local pros.

North end of Ocean City, 1st block north of 1st st. Park (if you can find a spot) and walk your ass up to the beach.
