Not to speak for GS, but he's talkin' about the water where the waves are crashing onto the rocks and draining and swirling, etc. The fish are often right in the white wash whether its rocks or sand.
These are areas that bait gets pummeled and disoriented and can be an easy meal.
Did you ever see the show "divers down' on NESN, I think... they dive alot in NE waters and almost every time they dive around a rocky island or coast, they film stripers hanging under the wash right against the rocks.
As for best times, I'll jump on that "when you can get out" bandwagon, as I've definitely not been able to pick and chose this year.
But its worth repeating... for bigger fish, night, dawn, dusk... large stripers are night feeders and especially, for surf fishers as they are more likely to come into shallower water during lowlight or under cover of darkness.
