More about North End OC surfspot
General: Short jetties, stubby groins and other random rockpiles give the shifting sandbars a home in Ocean City, and 1st Street is one of the more consistent. Heaving, rifling rights off the north side of the rocks during S swells; sucky, spinning lefts off the south side of the rocks during N swells; wedgey A-frames in between — it all depends on the sand and the swell. But if it’s big enough, it will probably be shorebreak, and it will probably be barreling. Likes a mid to high tide, and eats a lot of surfboards. Tides: any tide, depending on size Size: Waist high-well overhead Wind: NW to NNW Swell: SSE to ENE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Mellow most of the time with rips forming around the groins on bigger days. Spot Rating: Fun and typically better shape than other spots nearby.
All surfers in the summer, intermediate to advanced otherwise.
Easy for the most part, be aware of beach badges in the Summer.
September through March
Crowd Factor: Mostly moderate, but very busy during tropical swells. Local Vibe: Mostly moderate but can get heavy on good swells.
