DULUTH — In a rocky bay about 15 miles up the North Shore from Duluth, eight-foot waves curl gracefully before breaking and smashing against ice-coated boulders along Lake Superior.

A thriving scene has emerged on the beach, where about 50 surfers are braving the water for waves they swear can compare to some of the best surfing in Hawaii. Wearing neoprene wet suits, they congregate at a cove, where 15-foot waves can curl and break.
