37th Street Jetty is located in Sea Isle City and offers a decent spot for surfers looking for some fun waves. The beach stretches from 36th Street to 42nd Street and is known for having a variety of breaks along the jetties. It's a great place to catch some northeast swells, especially during the autumn and winter months when conditions are more favorable. The area is usually not too crowded, since there's plenty of space to spread out.
The surf here can be quite good, especially with northeast swells that deliver quality lefts and rights breaking over the sandy bottom. Generally, the best time to surf is during mid to high tide, where you can expect waves ranging from waist high to well overhead (about 1 to 2 meters). You'll want a northwest wind for optimal conditions, and the spot handles swell sizes from 3 to 7 feet (about 1 to 2.1 meters). Most of the time, paddling is on the easier side, making it suitable for beginners, but be aware that big days can be challenging.
With a mellow local vibe, this spot maintains a light to moderate crowd factor. Beach tags are required during the summer. While the lifeguards at Sea Isle City are all surfers and do a good job keeping swimmers away from the jetties, always be mindful of submerged hazards and rip currents. Whether you ride a shortboard, fish, funboard, longboard, or even bodyboard, you'll find something here that fits your style.
