Delaware Surf Guide

Fenwick Island

Fenwick Island is one of the better breaks in Delaware for surfing and it also bears a slight resembleance to Ocean City. Fenwick Island is usually off shore while alot of Deleware is shit shore break and because of this it will some times get fairly crowded. Some of the main breaks are directly behind the Surf Shop ( it is not advisable to go out at this spot if you are just a beginner) and also in the State Park.

Bethany Beach

Bethany is usually best at incoming tide in the morning or in the late afternoon, because the winds usually pick up during mid day and blow it out. Bethany is a hard pounding beach break, which is usually one of the best places around during a Hurricane. Some of the better spots are Hollywood, Central, and First Street.

Indian River Inlet

The Inlet is usually the place to be when the surf is small and every where else sucks, but it is also the place to be when every where else is closing out. The Inlet is actually two surf spots, the North side and the South side. The South side is the best for BodyBoarding because it has better form and also has more power. The North side is and unguarded beach which means there are always surfers there. I don't think I have ever seen the Inlet begin to close out and when its over 10 foot this is the place to be. You can surf either next to the jetty or about a quarter mile down the beach at the cove. If you do go here be prepared to pay an entrance fee of $2.50 for in State cars and $5.00 for out of state cars.

Dewey Beach

I have never really surfed Dewey Beach mainly because when ever I have gone there the surf was flat so I can't say much for it. I do know how ever that it is the spot if you want to skimboard, every August they hold the East Coast Skim Board Championships here. If anyone has any information about BodyBoarding in Dewey please E-mail me.

Rehoboth Beach

My experience here is also limited and from what I have heard it has a setup similiar to that of Bethany, with jetties every couple of hundred yards. If you do go here you might not want to go to far south because beginning on Queen St. there is a gay beach.

Cape Henlopen

Cape Henlopen is another State Park with miles of uncrowded beaches. My experience here is also limited to a campout I had several years ago which lasted only a weekend. From what I have heard there are alot of good beach breaks and there are also several jetties. I have also heard of a secret spot some where in the state park that used to be a groin put in by the navy to protect one of thier bases. The person who told me about this said it was just cleared of all the munitions just a couple years ago and opened it to the public. It is supposed to be an ultra long right and if you can find it then you'll definatly score big time.
