Trestles

📍 Local Knowledge

Trestles in New Jersey is an exposed sandbar break that offers fairly consistent surf throughout the year. It performs best when a southeast swell meets offshore winds from the northwest, and it responds well to both windswells and groundswells. The break is relatively low-key, and even on days when the waves are working, it’s unlikely to be crowded—making it a good option for surfers seeking more solitude. While it can be surfed year-round, the most reliable conditions for clean, rideable waves typically occur during the summer, with November also noted as a favorable month.
