Jersey Shore

some swells new jersey gets better than delmarva... there's also a lot of variety in jersey, so you can generally find a wave for any riding style.

it sounds like you live in the northern delaware / philadelphia region. If so, you can essentially get to any break in new jersey for about the same length drive.

South Jersey has some quality waves and can handle the northerly winds better, while the Central Jersey spots can offer a little more punch.

 

Belmar or bradly beach are two great spots.... so is casino peir in seaside... personally like bradly

 

Check out the daily surf reports for NJ at www.dukestorm.com and this site. The reports will give you a clue what areas of NJ are breaking best with a given swell direction and what areas are more consistent. Hop in the car and drive to these areas or towns and look for a good break. It's usually breaking at a number of spots in each town so you can easily find a decent uncrowded break with a little driving, When there is surf, you'll find a fun break with a little exploring.

 

I cant really think of anything similar to Assateague in New Jersey.

 

I can...but I am afraid I will get jumped if I say...

 

i would say go to oc nj, surf from 8th street north and from 51st south. occasionally theres a breaking wave around 12th. oc nj is right below Atlantic city incase you were wondering

 

w

Bay head is pretty good casino pier is good mansquan is real good and for odyboarding jenks is real good

 

If you are looking for some area like Assateague try getting a 4x4 pass to Island Beach State Park just south of Seaside. I believe its about 8 miles of undeveloped beach that you drive on with the 4x4 pass and find your own break. There is also some limited parking area if you don't have a 4x4.

 

youre gonna find a break anywhere in new jersey starting from monmouth beach to long branch to deal all the way down past asbury bradley beach avon manasquan blemar bay head lavalette seaside heights and all the way down...just have to go check them out for yourself on a consistent day and pick your fav.

 

always thought of gooiing to NJ but the tolls are killer.
Check your Pm too redneck

 

nice name drops...

 

What would the tolls be from Newark to say Ocean City, or wherever?

 

i live right around newark. you get on at route 78 for free at mile marker 143 or so. if i were to guess i'd say, $1 at perth amboy, 50 cents at Toms River, $1 at Barnegat and i think 35 cents to get off at mile 32 or so. so almost 3 dollars one way.

just out of memory i dont think there is another, i could be wrong but thats a ballpark for you

 

Depends how you plan on getting there. Easiest is the parkway, which is gonna have tolls. You can follow some smaller highways that'll be toll free.

Cause no one has heard of those breaks before ...

 

aka if you want to take route 9, you might as well add 2 hours to the trip

 

New Jersey

The tolls will literally eat you alive, let alone the beach tag fees. Pay as you go.
