Belmar

Intermediate

Belmar's 16th Street break is a classic beach break with shifting sandbars and peaks that break both left and right. It suits intermediate surfers and works on any tide with south‑to‑east swells and offshore west winds.

What to focus on today

  • Secondary peaks and tide windows that thin crowds
  • Parking tricks and walk-in trails most visitors skip
  • Forecast cues that trigger locals-only surges
  • Nearby alternates when the primary target turns into a zoo
