Fenwick Island is located right on the Delaware/Maryland state line. It's a small beach town known for its pretty average beach breaks. The vibe here is laid back, making it a decent spot for surfers looking to chill and catch some waves without too much fuss.

The surf at Fenwick Island can handle swell sizes from about 4 to 7 feet (1.2 to 2.1 meters). You'll find that it generally works best with swell coming from the SouthEast, East, and NorthEast. The waves break over a sandy bottom and usually offer both lefts and rights. The setup is good for beginners, intermediates, and even some experts, depending on the conditions. The best times to surf are during low to mid tide, and the wind directions that work well include SouthSouthWest, Southwest, and West. However, on certain swells, paddling out can be a little bit of a workout.

Getting to the beach is pretty straightforward, but you might want to get there early to avoid the parking hassle. If needed, you can park at Fenwick Island State Park, but be prepared to pay. As for the crowd, it's usually pretty light, allowing for a nice mellow session. The surfing season here is somewhat storm-dependent, with the best swells often rolling in during autumn due to tropical cyclones and nor'easters.
