I've lived in NY, NJ, FL and NC and have surfed in every EC state except for GA and RI -my personal favorites/standouts (note - I've never surfed Rhode Island - which I know for a fact goes off - and have never been lucky enough to really score OBX during hurricane season - so take with a grain of salt): Montauk NY Sebastian Inlet, FL Lake Worth Pier, FL Manasquan Inlet Martha's Vineyard, MA
how about u guys rank the following surf towns in order of best to worst. oc nj. oc md. va beach wilmington folly, sc satellite beach, fl I left off obx and other central fl locations so they did run away with it. I think all above towns are pretty similar as far as surf consistency. maybe satellite beach has an advantage but hey.
of these I would put satellite beach at the top of the list - not because of quality of waves but because they never restrict where you can surf at any time of the year, and warm water is a plus in my mind. I think any spot on it's best day of the year can be especially memorable - I've had great days in ocmd - obx - and spanish house, satellite beach, patrick afb,cocoa beach, playa linda, b ave., and bon steel in fl. - @ sebastion inlet have gotten some good days but it's so stinkin crowded w/ kooks when its on.
Has to be NC, the only wave you would ride in wilmington, DE would be the wave of crime, homicides & shootings.
east coast... cobble toes, the shrine, go-carts...can't tell you the states though. someone would kill me. i truley believe NJ has the most variety. I know the northeast can get real good and florida is warmer, but Nj is my north pole-Hatty is my south pole. After that, I am on a plane. honetly the best place on the east coast should be wherever YOU ARE AT. because we all know that you should have been here yesterday and that every dog has it's day. in the water is the best spot.
The answer is Rodanthe... S turns in particular... Its just too bad every kook and their grandma surfs there now
