    As I was leaving from Salisbury for the beach, trying to catch mid-tide in OC, the wind switched SSW and crapped it up...luckily a buddy called me as I was packing up my gear so I didn't waste the drive. What's the deal? Sea breeze from land being warmer than ocean? Think it will switch back to mostly W at some point today or not til the land cools, meaning like 4 o'clock? Any ideas?

    looks like a little sea-breeze action. It might glass off in the late afternoon. You can keep an eye on the ocean city surf cam
