Additional Surfing Infos
 This is a day trip with a few friends and a skipper, perhaps. I have not been out there personally, but I wanted to post this spot to see if others will post information about it and their experiences. I have spoken with enough locals to put it on this website and get you out there if you choose to go. The locals who have surfed it say: Once it's on there are about 8-10 breaks out there; it's deep; it's probably got a few sharks here and there; the rides last forever (dude said: "Probably not as long as some some breaks in Costa Rica, but almost"). More local info.: It seems to only break when there is considerable swell, and since it's a bit further out, it acts a swell magnet. Also, since the shoals never break surface, the swells will wrap around the sandbar and produce some clean waves even when condition are onshore in Ocean City.
  Overview
  Atmosphere These shoals lie just within view from the Jetty straight out and appear from shore to be roping lefts and rights that peel flawlessly forever and break with a punch. The look from the beach is an awesome sight...you just want to hop on a skiff and go!
  General Basically I don't know because I haven't surfed it. Looks scary and intimidating being so far off the coast. Course, it aint no Cortes Bank, that's for sure!

From the looks of things, it appears that on the right day, with a few beers, a good crew, and the right skipper, you can have one epic surf trip right in good old Maryland.

Not bad..
Been out there a few times by boat, I wouldn’t paddle it though, you could get caught in an outgoing tide in the channel. Could be a disaster. By boat it’s a lot of fun though. The bar is pretty shallow, you can touch the bottom in most of the area. Fun, long rides on a good day. I’d be more worried about people on jet skis then sharks.

Surfed the shoals yesterday!
Me and two friends went out there on my boat and surfed it yesterday, it was fun, a guy with a ski showed up and did some tow-in rides. It was about shoulder high and a fairly long ride. Wouldn’t have gone without my boat though! Didn’t see any sharks. For a small fee, ill bring people out there. My boat is 18 feet with a surf rack! Hit me up if interested. jeremiah.kogon@gmail.com

Perfect for Tow-In/Tow-At
With the help of a PWC, the potential to have an EPIC day here is HIGH. You, tow partner, and fast access could really translate into many, many waves. This place is definitely worth it on a bigger swell. There are different shoals from the Inlet all the way to Assateague and beyond. A dedicated tow-team could have a great day when it goes over 8-ft and is clean.When it's breaking, just get on it. GO! (and report back, of course)
