Ortley Beach surf guide

Surf: General: Here, you'll find several beachbreak alternatives to the big-name, big-crowd locations to the north. Each is highly dependent upon the sandbar at any given time. When the sandbars are good though, it can be a great spot if looking to ditch the crowds. Tides: Lower tides, unless it's big Size: Waist high-well overhead Wind: W Swell: S, SSE, SE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Doable for most surfers, even newbies. Spot Rating: The sandbars can be hit-or-miss but fun on the right day. Access: Easy but be aware of beach badges in the summer months. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Plenty of room to find your own spot. Local Vibe: Mellow. Environment: Pretty clean overall. Hazards: Shallow bottom, rip currents. Season: September through March
