Additional Information
This is about your normal east coast surf spot. The waves are about 3 to 4 feet with ok lines. If you catch it at the right time they have been up to 6 or 7 feet. Just watch the waves forcast. pier is best lowtide. west end water tower is best at high tide but is crowded with surf camps in summer. duneside dr is best mid tide spot.
the inlet between oib and sunset beach has epic waves with weak SE winds and 2-4 ft SE swell. barrells down inlet then peels toward sunset beach. with right conditions wave can breack for 4 minutes. best for SUP becaause lots of sharks and sting rays
Atmosphere
This place is a little island town. It is not very big only 5 miles across. The waves are ok. If you catch them at the right time though they can be great. There are not many people there so overall it is a great spot to surf.
General
I like it. It is not the best I have ever surfed but it is a ok place.
