Never fished there but according to this https://mrc.virginia.gov/vswft/angler_guide/angler_web_catch.pdf
looks like Summer Flounder, Sea Bass and Tautog are going to be your best shot. Check the regs since not sure what is open right now.

Thank you...seems like any consistent surf action might be happening further South

Some years the Black Drum run starts mid-late March on the Virginia side of Assateague and the first fluke are caught in the back waters around Chincoteague. Fluke is open all year 4 fish 16" and Black Drum 1 fish 16".
You can give Captain Steve's on Chincoteague island a call for detailed info or follow them on FB.

Don't forget your fishing license. You need one for salt water in VA.
