Surfline censors the location of a photo

Never been to Sandy Hook so my guess based on the foliage would have to be IBSP. North Jersey and South Jersey should be two seperate states. Those of you in North Jersey can have Bon Jovi and Hair Gel....Us here in the south call Springsteen and Pork Roll.....

 

yeah looks more like sandy hook. haven't been there in years. you usually don't see carriers that close to the ocean either that far south though occasionally i'll see them in cape may.

 

Springsteen was born in Long Branch, raised in Freehold, and got his start in Asbury...pretty sure that's a claim for the north.

 

Have we ever been asked to censor stuff that users publish?

OF COURSE! ALL THE TIME, people get upset about a surf report that was posted or a photo/video that was uploaded. I am very familiar with the nature of the beast

 

Since they pumped up there it breaks in like 6 inches of water. Even if everyone knew about it only a few would even considering surfing there, especially on a big ground swell. No spot in Jerz is a secret.

 

went to high school out on sandy hook. Every morning coming over the little bridge I would get about a 5 second view of the surf. It was always TORTURE when I saw it was going off. Junior year I would just throw my gear in the car and go up early or skip the morinng and surf the cove. I've heard lately that Gunnison has been breaking better.

 

Last time I surfed Gunny it was a perfectly clean wave, but breaking at about twice the speed as a mortal can go on a surfboard. But that was about 6 months ago.

 

I'm not from Jersey so I don't know the situation but if there are secret spots left still, why ruin them by posting them?? if you really have the drive to go surf that place, go search for it. you might even find new spots along the way. IMO

 

Those waves are breaking right on the beach. They look pretty in a picture but are not surfable IMO. Go to Sandy Hook on any sizable clean south swell and it will look like that from the bridge all the way to the fort (other than one spot that will not be named that is a mere shadow of it's formal self). Those waves come in and break no more than 30 feet from the beach with the majority of the wall barrelling over 18 inches of water.

 

I think this is kinda stupid. When they publish photos from premier spots, they give the spot some credit. When was the last time someone published a picture at Pipe as "somewhere in Hawaii".

I would have guessed that spot was Sandy Hook even if you didn't say it was in NJ, and I have never surfed there. Even though they cropped out the cargo ship, you can still see the buoy marking the shipping lane, plus nothing that unpopulated lines up like that. Maybe that's just me... I look at maps a lot.

 

Sand pumping ruined surfing...

 

Ahh I gotcha. That sucks man. Can't stand when people do that. The ocean belongs to everyone

 

HINT: its an island to the south.

 

Zippy is right about those waves LOOKING amazing from up high, on the bridge or from the lighthouse or whatever and then turning out to be unridable shore break once you actually get to the beach.
As for this..

 

did you go to MAST?

 

yeah I went to MAST graduated in 2001.
