Boilers surfspot characteristics
More about Boilers surfspot
General: Another east-end break in Surfside, Boilers is located near the site of a submerged Confederate Blockade Runner, the Acadia. The Acadia's boiler stacks were exposed, lending the spot its name, but can no longer be seen from the beach.</br></br>The sand tends to shoal consistently in the vicinity of the sunken, buried vessel, and sometimes provides a definitive peak with hollow surf. Most of the time, however, Boilers is a collection of scattered peaks, much like the rest of the region. What's nice about Boilers is its relative isolation down the beach from the crowded jetties. Tides: High Size: Waist to head high Wind: N, NW or W with swell Swell: S, SE Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Drift sessions are the call with consistently strong longshore currents. Spot Rating: Can occasionally light up if everything comes together.
