Island Beach State Park surf guide
Surf: Favors rights on a SE swell. Gets hollow on lower tides, and there is an endless selection of peaks all the way down to the jetty at the southern end. 4WD or Herculean hike required.
Environment: Early arrival necessary in summer, before they close the gate to protect this pristine but sensitive area. It is possible to camp for up to 3 nights on the beach, if you have a 4WD pass and an intention to fish. Pluses include consistent and rarely crowded waves, no tags and no dress code. Minuses are currents, jellyfish, and entrance fee.
