Hudson Ave.

📍 Local Knowledge

Hudson Ave. in New Jersey is a semi-exposed beach and jetty break that produces a mix of short, punchy peaks and longer rights peeling off the jetty during good swell events. Offshore winds from the west help groom swells from the southeast to northeast, creating fast, workable waves ideal for shortboards but still accessible for experienced longboarders. The spot handles all tides, though mid tide often offers the best balance between speed and shape. Crowds tend to be light to moderate, with more activity during prime hurricane swell windows. The most consistent clean waves usually occur in September.
