Sea Island Surf Guide
Sea Island is a privately owned island, so access is limited. There is a large amount of offshore sand here, so the place is somewhat shadowed from south-southeast swells. However, Sea Island can get surf during strong northeast windswells, but likely not worth making a dedicated trip. It's best on an incoming to high tide.
