Complete Guide to Surfing New Jersey

The heart of East Coast surfing. New Jersey's 127 miles of beach break coastline light up on fall nor'easters and passing hurricane swells. Spots like Manasquan Inlet, Long Branch, and Belmar deliver punchy, hollow waves when the sandbars line up. Summer water temps reach 72-75°F, but winter drops to the high 30s - a 5/4mm with boots, gloves, and hood is mandatory December through March. Fall is prime season: warm water lingers while consistent north swells push through.
