Bay Point, Marblehead
Edit SpotAbout
Fun, mushy waves on a big NE wind! I need a paddleboard.
Atmosphere:
No surfers out. Surfed when buoy was at 8ft/7sec (25-30kt NE wind across Lake Erie, Sept 7 2011). Wind was actually north at the spot so it was blowing off shore of the point while waves rolled in. Would have been GREAT for a paddleboard. I had a long board and caught 2 breaks on the way into Bay Point. With big waves it breaks several times on the way into the beach. I didn't get to check out further south on the beach unfortunately. There may have been bigger breaks since the waves would reach shallow water without traveling along the shoreline.
Additional Info:
Parked up the road (east of beach) and jumped off a point to land at Bay Point.
