Dog Island Surf Guide

Dog Island has surf on south swells but is a private island available solely to property owners. To surf it, you're going to have to go by boat since there are no bridges to the island. This place is worth exploring the surf possibilities, but don't bother moving south along the mainland, you won't find any surf until Clearwater.
