Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

12th Street Jetty in New Jersey is a reliable beach/jetty break that works best in winter, particularly in March. It receives a mix of groundswells and windswells, with an ideal swell angle from the northeast and offshore winds from the northwest. The break favors lefts and is best around mid-tide on a rising tide. Crowds are common when conditions align, and dangerous rips can be a hazard.
