    Any idea what the condition of the sandbars are like in OCMD/assateague?

    Stuck heading down there this weekend (usually ride LBI/cedars)
    and was thinking with the winds and crowds of OC i'd make the long paddle.

    we also haven't had a decent swell in a while, so we'll see how the sandbars react to 13-14 second period. Big difference between how a beach will handle waves that have 6 second periods compared to 14 seconds.
