 You can surf the Delaware beaches before and after lifeguards are on duty, generally before 10 and after 5. At Ocean City, lifeguards in the stands 10 a.m. until 5.30. Dedicated surf beaches today, 46th Street and 126th Street. But the inlet is now closed because of the amount of people there. And it'll remain that way for most of the rest of the summer, unless they make a change within a certain day. Sometimes they'll change it halfway through the day. It just depends.
