32nd Street surf guide

32nd Street is located at the southern end of Absecon Island and features a rock jetty that helps create decent right and left breaks. This spot can offer some fun waves, especially during the surf season from September through March. The access to the beach is pretty easy, but be aware that it can get a bit tougher during the summer months due to the crowds.

The surf here works best on low to mid tides, with sizes generally ranging from chest high (about 1.2 meters) to well overhead (up to 2.1 meters). The spot handles swell from different directions like East, Southeast, and South, making it versatile for different swell conditions. The bottom is mostly sand, which helps keep things interesting. You'll find that the waves can be pretty mellow most of the time, but when the surf gets bigger, paddling out can be a challenge. The preferred wind directions are generally from the Northwest, which can help clean up the waves. This spot can cater to all skill levels from beginners to experts, so there's something for everyone.

When it comes to the crowd, you can expect a light to moderate presence, leading to a local vibe that stays mellow to moderate. Since a shallow bottom and rip currents can be present, it’s always good to stay alert. Overall, 32nd Street can be a solid option if you're looking for a breather from the busier spots nearby, offering fun sessions for various board types like shortboards, fish, funboards, longboards, and even bodyboards.
