Belmar to Sea Girt surf guide

Belmar to Sea Girt is a popular surf spot located along the New Jersey coastline. This stretch offers various waves that can appeal to surfers looking for a fun session. While it has some consistency, getting to the best breaks can sometimes be a hassle due to access issues. The area around New York Blvd in Sea Girt tends to be the go-to spot for surfers, especially when the conditions are right.

The surf here generally comes alive with a north-east or south swell, handling sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters). The waves break over sand and can offer both left and right rides. While it's better suited for intermediate surfers, experienced beginners can still enjoy the waves here with the right conditions. It's worth noting that low to mid tide works best, and a west wind can really help shape the surf. High tide can flatten things out a bit, so timing your session is key.

While the jetties add some consistency to the surf, they can also make the line-up somewhat crowded. Surfers should be aware of the rotating designated surfing area and keep an eye out for some old stormwater drains that can pose hazards in the water. It's important to know the vibe here, and respect the line-up, especially since it can get fairly packed at times.
