30th Street is a beach break in Ocean City offering punchy sandbars shaped by the jetty system that runs along the island. The SE-facing exposure picks up S and SE swells from tropical systems and nor'easters, producing fast, hollow rides during fall hurricane season. Like many OC breaks, the sandbars shift seasonally, rewarding surfers who learn to read the constantly evolving bottom.
