If it was a NE wind though, you'd be surf fishing the back and shore fishing the race.
Its also possible you could be surf fishing the race one minute and shore fishing it shortly after.
The really serious question is though, would the fish count?

On another note, if you were fishing cutty from the rocks in a wetsuit and a fish struck your offering while you were simultaneously being lifted off your rock by a rogue wave, would you be surf casting or skishing?

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
