Also known as Sachuest Beach, this bay faces SW, catching all the sea breeze windswell. It will handle a bit of size, especially at higher tides. Bigger and better shaped peaks than 1st Beach. At the eastern end, a protected left pointbreak called ?The Dumps? cranks up when both the swell and an E wind picks up.
Seaweed is the biggest problem here in the summer designated surfing area along with some jellyfish. Good access and facilities in this National Wildlife Refuge.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
