30th Street in Avalon is a summer surfing spot that appeals mainly to beginners and those looking to improve their skills. It's not the top choice in the area for seasoned surfers, but it can provide some decent waves when conditions align. The beach features a long pier that helps create some extra sandbars, making it a bit more interesting as the jetties start to get buried.
The surf here works best with a NorthEast swell, but it can also handle South swells. Ideal wave heights fall around 2 feet (around 0.6 meters), and the waves can break both left and right over sand. For a good ride, the best winds are from the NorthWest, and it’s pretty versatile with tides, being suitable for low, mid, and high tide. This means there’s a good chance to catch some waves regardless of the tide schedule.
While surfing, be aware that this spot is known for being tough on beach tags, so it might be a good idea to keep an eye on that. The atmosphere is friendly for learners, so if you’re looking to work on your skills or just enjoy some casual surfing, 30th Street is a solid choice.
