Characteristics
  We will add the map soon (no really,, yes yes honest!).
Like most of the eastern coast of the United States this is a long stretch of beach break that is broken up by jetties, piers and inlets. And like the whole of the eastern seabord it is not as consistent as the West Coast and the waves for the most part are not near as powerful. The breaks can turn on and offer quality beach break peaks but cannot be compared to the points and reefs of the west coast. This region suffers from a large continental shelf that decreases the power of the waves. Massive temperature variations as well. On the plus side the majority of surfers in the region are good and decent folks that for the most part are far removed from the aggro scene so evident at many southern California beaches...very little localism horseshit is in evidence.

Dominant Swell and Wind Direction :
Winter is cold with nor'easters providing the best and juiciest action of the year. Solid swells from the North and Northeast provide freezing uncrowded peaks.Spring and summer are usually weak and flat with summer being a circus with loads of tourists at most breaks.Fall is a great season if hurricanes can cooperate. Solid swells with warm water. Usually the best time of year.

Waiting For Big Bertha
Overall a fun night in Sandbridge.  Low tide always does this spot right and with a Severe Thunderstorm watch in effect, the break was absolutely empty! Me and my little bro paddled out into waist high glass.  Not epic, but its a good warm
