Surfing in Ocean City Maryland See Description Below for Surf Guide Information

A very consistent, very legit, very popular Delmarva beach-break assisted by some bathymetry-stroking jetties, 8th Street can offer the same heaving, dumping, spitting lefthand tube riding experience as other Ocean City spots on NE swells — along with the same maddening currents, paddle-out denials, and boardwalk peanut galleries. And it’s becoming an increasingly popular destination for surgical strikes during hurricane season. That’s because Ocean City in general boasts a rather wide swell window — accommodating everything from NE to straight S energy — and 8th Street in particular can handle a bit more N wind than some nearby spots. It usually prefers lower tides, depending on what the sand’s doing.
