L Jetty Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

L Jetty in New Jersey is an exposed beach/Jetty break that has reasonably consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. The best wind direction is from the west. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the east southeast. The beach break offers mainly right hand waves. Best around low tide when the tide is rising. It's often crowded here. Take care of rocks in the line up.
