    To be more specific, I was high and low. The normal population in 2009 was 7000, the summer time weekend population runs from 320,000-345,000. And thank you very much I have been to Ocean City, MD tons of times, and by tons I mean around 50. So after visiting a solid 50 times means I have a vivid idea on how the waves break there. And it isn't like it is some mysterious unheard of break either, so you don't need to live there to understand the wave. Obviously, you haven't paid attention to my past posts where I had said I recently moved to VA Beach... So don't go quoting me and saying I don't know ****

    Are you serious? I'm not a unicorn. I'm a real kook or whatever you want to label me. I have plans to go there Sunday if I'm not watching football and NLDS games in a bar off main street. Then on Monday I will be on AI again with my coach. Big deal.

    Ha! Do ya thang Gruv! But, you have a coach? Bra, just get your board, get yer speedo/rashgaurd tie combo what ever you were talking about, throw on that heavy 4/3 and just surf your brains out in AI. surf coach not required! It's all about watching other and finding that balance with your board. The more comfortable you ware with your board and your surroundings, the better the surfer.

    Super Fish - 350,000 people in OCMD! holy smokes hombre I had no idea it was that massive. never been there myself. i live somewhat near OCNJ and it doesn't even compare.

    yeah ocean city md and ocean city nj are totally different towns. Ocean city, md is a lot more bigger and actually extends inland also. Besides not being a dry town, they have a lot more events on the boardwalk and a huge convention center that hosts a bunch of different things, such as car shows, throughout the year. They also have go-carts that have more than a figure 8 like the one by 8th st or 11th in oc nj haha. I and along with thousands others, love crabs which also draws a lot of people there. If you ever get a chance, travel there and compare towns.

    Ocean City Md's off season population is only around 8000 people. Worcester County has only 50,000 people year round and thats including Ocean City! . I grew up in Middletown NJ and the population was around 70,000 and the county was up around 600,000! You could go your whole life there and not run into someone you knew. The first thing I learned moving here is that everyone knows everyone or is related one way or another. It's really a small town outside of the 3 summer months.

    So Fish, in those 50 trips to OCM, you really can rattle off the important things, like go karts, crabs, and of course car shows. For the record, you have no idea what OCM is or breaks like, even after 50 trips here. "Go Fish"

    woah! to give you some sort of perspective, my hometown has 1,334 locals as of the '10 census and probably swells 10x the size in the summer, or more. Although it feels like there are roughly only 200 in the winter when it's dead as hell

    Well, I may be what you say, but my 16425 days in OCM trumps your 50 visits to OCM by a literal TON. Enjoy Vah Beach.

    congratulations. you have been appointed to the position of all knower of ocean city md. who gives a ****?

    For living in OC for that long your sure did provide worthless info. The poor guy could go to surfline's info section of the break and find out more facts. What a waste of 45 years in OC...or are you from Baltimore???

    once again, MDsurfer, look at the date of that photo....that is not a recent photo of va beach since I have just moved here....pay attention to specifics or stfu. You are the worst arguer I have ever came across.

    And from the looks of your profile, all you do is take pictures from the sand.

    Thanks to everyone for saying hey. I moved in last weekend, but have gotten out 3 times. The water is nice and the waves have been really nice too. I suck ass, but I'm getting better, I just needed to shake out the cobwebs. Its been a while. Its fun though, I'm so stoked I made the move.

    See you all in the water!

    you're gonna be disappointed - go back to san diego for real surf (and consistent surf) - but if you have no choice and gotta stay - keep your eyes out for: 1. tropical storms that affect us, and 2. winter surf - get the wetsuit advisors say you need for upper 20's water temps. (at least lower 30's - but you'd be limiting your opportunities!) Pay particular attention to hoods and booties, gloves/lobster claws/mittons. If you can handle the temps, you can get the surf! Good luck!

    Hey Skippy...
    Yeah I surfed there a handful of times. I usually worked the OB pier or sunset cliffs. The jetty was they most territorial spot in San Diego in my opinion. Guys would try to start fights there all the time. Most of SD was laid back, but the jetty was cut throat. It reminded me of San Cruz. Great wave when it was working, one of the best in SD.
