Fishermans Island
Edit SpotAbout
not worth unless its a cranking SE swell....closing out in vb status
Atmosphere:
I started this spot to hopefully gain information about it. I want to take a trip but need information on access...etc
Additional Info:
There is little known about this island. Surfline claims the left point breaks for 300 yards all the way under the bridge. It supposedly rarely breaks, but looks like it has potential to produce some of the best swell the east coast has to offer.
