yes. in addition, there is additonal fetch exposure in the ocean arm pit from fenwick island to pea island where the wind may be SSW causing bumpiness to refract and affect the OC SE exposure.Originally Posted by DPR

delaware beaches face between 85 to 90 degrees (due east around fenwick to a little more north as you head north).
maryland faces around 100 to 105(south oc). This makes a big difference. Ocean City will generally big bigger on a steep S swell, while delaware will be cleaner with SW winds.
This is why the 2 forecasts will vary slightly depending on swell direction and winds.
Is there any spots in deleware that have a sandbar ?
Apircot Orchard fires on NW swells. It only breaks on a 3 ft @ 21 seconds megaswell.
