Fenwick surf guide

Fenwick is a surf spot that's smaller than what you might find in Maryland, but it has its own unique vibe. It doesn’t see a ton of crowds because most surfers tend to head elsewhere. That's a plus if you enjoy some space while catching waves. The beach is mostly sandy, which makes it a nice place to hang out when you're not in the water.

The surf here tends to be short and fast, often featuring some barrel sections that can get exciting. You'll find that it usually serves up more rights than lefts. The optimal swell direction is from the east, but it can also handle swells coming from the northeast and south. This spot works well with swell sizes around 2 ft. (about 0.6 meters) and breaks over sand. It’s best to hit Fenwick during low, mid, or high tide, with the best winds coming from the west. It’s a good spot for beginners to practice their skills thanks to these friendly conditions.

Since Fenwick isn’t super popular, you can expect to find waves that groom well, which means they can set up nicely for rides. Just keep in mind that the surf can be a bit less powerful compared to other more famous spots. Overall, it's a chill place to enjoy some quality time on the water without feeling rushed.
