Onehundredandtwentyth Street (Worcester County Coast)

Onehundredandtwentyth Street in Ocean City is an exposed beach/jetty-influenced surf break with sandy bottoms and generally consistent, usable waves. Surfing is managed through a rotating designated surfing-beach system in the north half of town, so the active area can change daily; check the day’s schedule before going. The spot is described as best around low tide, and it can also work when the tide is pushing from low to mid. Wave shape is typically peeling, with moderate wave power and good-to-average wave quality depending on conditions. The break is considered exposed, with a shorebreak that can be felt, and groins/jetties that shape the sandbars and peaks. Safety-wise, obey local patrol guidance and restrictions: surfing is limited to the designated rotating zones during summer guard hours, and summer weekends/holidays (Friday–Sunday) are restricted. Always wear a leash, stay within the marked yellow stand boundaries on designated days, and do not drop in. Hazards to respect include rip currents, shorebreak, groins/jetties, and occasional beach crowding in peak summer. As for wind, conditions are variable but commonly support thermal sea-breeze patterns in summer (afternoon into early evening). The spot’s surf wind window is reported as cleanest with West or Northwest winds, while light Southwest winds are also manageable. For water temperature, winter is very cold and summer is warm enough for lighter suits.
