Surfing after Winter Storm Helena in New Jersey with professional surfer's Sam Hammer and Rob Kelly. Watch as Sam breaks down the challenging harsh sub zero conditions of New Jersey in the winter.
I just took thses pictures on the North Beach. The beach is actually crowded (compared to colder winter days). The waves are very small but the off-shore wind is making for surfable section if you have a longboard. The good news: The sun is out and it's very warm: saw beach goers working on their tans: NOTE: WE ARE OPEN AND SELLING OFF OUR RENTAL EQUIPMENT: GARY , COROLLA SURF SHOP
I just took these pictures up in Ocean Sands. At this posting Corolla has waist to stomach high surf with primarily peeling rights. The wind is out of the WSW at 9 mph. Th tide has just flipped, so we have an outgoing tide. As long as wind stays down and doesn’t change direction, then a surf session might be warranted for this afternoon.

I just took these pictures in front of the Lighthouse Ramp Road. Air & water temps are matching each other: 46 degrees Fahrneheit. Wave high is only thigh high plus and Corolla has an outgoing tide. Surface conditions are choppy but there some very quick sections that stay open for 2 seconds. The sun is out which is helping to keep windchill down to a minium.

Corolla currently has a steady rain shower which is giving us a “glass offâ€. Wave height is waist high but the tide needs to drop in order for sections to become more predictable. I took these pictures right after high tide, the lower the tide, the more the sections will break. Sold longboard day with hardly any wind chill.

A SLIDESHOW of surfing New Jersey 2013 - 2017 during various swells. Some Belmar Pro, Doomsday swell, Hurricane Matthew and various nor'easters included. Beaches include Jenk's, Manasquan Inlet, Sandy Hook, Pier Village, Pav. Ave. and Sea Bright. All Nikon photography.
I just took these pictures in front of my home break. Surf-able but rough conditions. The wind is out of the ESE. Wave height is at least waist to stomach high. Surface conditions are choppy but there are quick sections you could drop into. There still is a side-shore current running north to south with an incoming tide. NOTE: COROLLA SURF SHOP WILL BE OPEN FOR PRESIDENT’S DAY WEEKEND.
After yesterday’s summer weather, Corolla has gone back to our classic winter reality. The wind switched last night from the SWS to the ENE. This has chopped up the ocean and created a side-shore current running not to south. Wave hight is about thigh high but I really couldn’t see any surf able section. Wind speed is 20 mpg which means wind chill has dropped into the high 30’s. Good News: we have had a very mild winter so far and H2O temps have only dropped down into the low 40’s. Our wish is that we have an early spring? REMINDER: WE OFER FREE DELIVERY FOR ANY OF OUR RENTAL PRODUCTS. GARY, COROLLA SURF SHOP
When the swell doesn't fill in down in Central America, the boys crack out the Panama Lights and dust off the softies. Fun will always ensue.
Any of you SIers need reccys for Panama travel, slide into the DMs.
A winter day that feels like summer. Air temps are in the 70’s. The surf is flat, Corolla has an off-shore wind and we have an outgoing tide. When I took these pics I did see “whale spouts†and migrating whales heading north. They were about 3/4 of a mile out which is too far for me to get a good picture.
