 You can surf with the Delaware Beaches before and after lifeguards are on duty, generally before 10 and after 5. Check with your local beach town. At Ocean City, lifeguards are in the stands 10 a.m. until 5.30. Dedicated surf beaches today, 44th Street and 124th Street. And I stand corrected that sometimes the inlet is open, even during the week, even during summertime, because the inlet is open today.
