North Wildwood
Edit SpotAbout
Best spot in Wildwood is a secret, and only is good in the winter
Atmosphere:
On good days in the summer this place gets packed, 3 to 4 surfers around any one peak, but in the winter and fall it spreads out more with lifeguards and shoobies gone. If you surf in the summer don't be dick to lifeguards, because alot of them are real tight asses, I know, I'm a lifeguard, but I'm cool about surfing.
Additional Info:
Paddle out aroung 15th st., where there are many peaks. Around 12th st. The waves get hollower and bigger then the other streets. Inbetween 7th and 10th is the best surf.
