North End Surf Guide
North Litchfield is a residential area with marginal surf and wide, beautiful beaches. The reason for the marginal surf is that it's set back in a somewhat recessed part of the coast. If it's waist- to chest-high here, it's probably chest-to-head at Huntington or Pawley's Island. Works on all swells.
