Break types, wave character, and ideal conditions for mellow log sessions.
The 3rd Avenue Jetty is at the north end of Belmar's beach-break stretch, where rock groins create wedgy peaks on both sides.
Wedgy A-frame peaks form on both sides of the jetty. Longboards and funboards work well on smaller days.
Mid tide with a W to NW wind and 3-5 ft SE to E swell.
8th Avenue Jetty is one of Belmar's heaviest and most localized peaks.
The jetty produces a heavy barrel on solid swells.
Low to mid incoming tide, W to NW wind, 4-8 ft SE to E swell.
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.
On larger swells sit farther outside; look for A‑frame peaks and watch for rip currents near the jetties.
All tides, W wind, 3–5 ft SE–S swell
The Belmar Fishing Pier at 19th Avenue marks the south end of Belmar's mile-long beach-break stretch.
The pier creates well-defined peaks on both sides.
Mid tide, W wind, 4-6 ft ENE to SE swell.
