Wedge Surf Guide

Wedge in Maryland is an exposed beach and reef break that only works when conditions are just right with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds are from the west northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the east southeast. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Hazards include urchins, rips and sharks.
