you're not traveling far enough north. ... and i mean further north than this:If consistency is taken into play I think rincon still wins. I just don’t think there is any point break that is comparable in the NE. And the NE is dreadfully inconsistent for any kind of quality as well so it’s not like that zone irks out ahead based on that category.
even Malibu is going to be a longer wave than just about anywhere in the NE, albeit no barrel factor like the con.
100% agree about CA largely being overblown, which probably gets overlooked by most due to excitement of a surf trip and nspots.

The wildest breaks were first surfed by Jay Speakman, who moved
from Maui, Hawaii, in 1970 to work as a lobsterman on Little
Cranberry Island, just south of Bar Harbor. Speakman, later
joined by his brother Chris, scouted offshore breaks while
hauling lobster pots on his boat. Their fellow lobstermen
overcame initial doubts (one threatened to summon the Coast
Guard if the brothers surfed) and began to call in wave reports
on the radio from their remote routes. On winter workdays the
Speakmans would drop anchor and retrieve surfboards stashed in
the engine hold. "Those winter swells were every bit as
challenging as the waves on Maui," says Jay, who now lives in
Oregon. "I guarantee we were the first to surf 90 percent of
those places." No wonder. Most were weed-covered ledges
accessible only by boat. The most remote of the Speakman
destinations was Mount Desert Rock, an island 20 miles out to
sea, inhabited only by seals.'
and good luck with the above.
