Surf: Beachbreaks and lefts/rights off jetties. Often small and perfect. Main Street is the best spot. Rights fire off the jetty in a NE to S swell, starting as a barrel then walling up. Length of ride depends on swell direction. Consistent. Surf: General: The assortment of old beach groins along the mile-long boardwalk creates some nice sandbars that can produce some excellent surf. Fall and winter are best, as summertime brings surfing restrictions and flat spells. Tides: Low and incoming Size: Chest high-overhead Wind: Southwest or West Swell: S, SE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Not bad but can be some work on certain swells. Spot Rating: Decent. Access: All public parking spaces are either pay-to-park or require a parking permit every day from May 15 through September 15. Parking is free the remainder of the year. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Not too bad. Local Vibe: Not too bad. Environment: Not too bad. Hazards: None really. Season: Storm dependent: tropical cyclones in the late summer and fall with frontal activity and nor'easters in the late fall and winter.
