Hunting Island Surf Guide
Hunting Island State Park is one long beachbreak exposed to swells from all directions. The north end of the island can get quite juicy on NE windswells. There's considerable continental shelf once you start getting this far south. And you start to see six-foot-plus tidal changes, as well, so this area is definitely best on incoming to high tide.
